If you're looking for a decent editor support for Haskell, consider using VSCode with Haskell extensions.
Install package ide-haskell-hoogle
. Refer to Atom Flight Manual for details on installing packages.
Package supports using either local Hoogle database, or remote one (hosted on https://haskell.org/hoogle/ and/or http://hoogle.haskell.org/)
hoogle
executable, plus you will need to build hoogle database for hoogle itself to work.By default, package uses “new” remote database from http://hoogle.haskell.org/. You can change that using Hoogle Type setting:
hoogle
You can use cabal
, stack
, or your favorite package manager.
Cabal:
cabal install hoogle
Stack:
stack install hoogle
You can use either hoogle-4 or hoogle-5, either of these versions will work. However, hoogle-5 is recommended.
If not sure what hoogle version you have, run
hoogle --version
.
You should get output similar to this:
$ hoogle --version
Hoogle 5.0.12, http://hoogle.haskell.org/
or
$ hoogle --version
Hoogle v4.2.43, (C) Neil Mitchell 2004-2012
http://haskell.org/hoogle
You have a choice between installing basic database and extended database.
Installing extended database will take a lot of time and memory!
To install basic database, run
hoogle data
To install extended database, run
hoogle data all
Run
hoogle generate --download
This will get you the database used on http://haskell.org/hoogle
hoogle
executableYou don’t need to do this if hoogle
is in PATH
, i.e. if you can type hoogle
in the terminal, and won’t get ‘File not found’ error.
Open Atom’s settings, Packages, find ide-haskell-hoogle, then set Hoogle Path to full path to hoogle
executable. For example, if your hoogle
executable is located in /home/user/.local/bin/
directory, put /home/user/.local/bin/hoogle
into Hoogle Path.
