# Download & Installing
Copilot is implemented as a Embedded Domain Specific Language in Haskell.
Currently Copilot 3.14 requires a version of the Glasgow Haskell Compiler (GHC)
of at least 8.6 to be installed. The recommended way to do this is by
installing the [Haskell Platform](https://www.haskell.org/platform/). The
Haskell platform comes with the compiler and basic tools necessary to install
Copilot.
of at least 8.6 to be installed. The recommended installation path is via
[GHCup](https://www.haskell.org/ghcup/install/) which ensures consistency with
the rest of the haskell ecosystem. Similar in scope to rustup, pyenv and jenv.
GHCup is the main installer for the general purpose language Haskell.
It will install the necessary environment for installing Copilot.

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://get-ghcup.haskell.org | sh
sudo apt install build-essential curl libffi-dev libffi8 libgmp-dev libgmp10 libncurses-dev libncurses6 libtinfo6 pkg-config
ghcup install cabal --set 3.14.2.0
ghcup install ghc --set 9.10.2
ghcup install hls --set 2.11.0.0

With a newly installed Haskell environment, we can easily install the latest
version of Copilot. As a regular user, just execute the following two commands
