## Arch Linux

The preferred method of installation for development purposes is to use the [haskell-language-server-static](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/haskell-language-server-static) package from AUR.
This package contains statically linked binaries for each supported GHC version and `haskell-language-server-wrapper` for automatic GHC version selection.
This package contains pre-built binaries for each supported GHC version and `haskell-language-server-wrapper` for automatic GHC version selection.
It is updated regularly, requires no additional dependencies, and is independent of other haskell packages you may have on your system, including GHC.
Its size is relatively large (approx. 900 MB), but if this is a problem for you, during installation you can disable the GHC versions you will not be using by editing the PKGBUILD file.

Alternatively, if you want to use **dynamically linked** Haskell packages from `pacman`,
you can install the latest pre-compiled version of `haskell-language-server` from [[community]](https://archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/haskell-language-server/):

```bash
sudo pacman -S haskell-language-server
```

In this case, `haskell-language-server` is compiled against the GHC distributed to Arch Linux, so you will need maintain a system wide Haskell development environment, and install GHC from `pacman` as well.
See [ArchWiki](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Haskell) for the details of Haskell infrastructure on Arch Linux.
