When a prebuilt binary does not exist for your system you can build the project from source. You'll also need to do this if you want to help with development. [Stack](https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack) makes it easy. It will install any necessary Haskell dependencies on your system.
* [Install Stack](https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack#how-to-install) for your platform
* Build the project
```bash
#ubuntu example
wget -q -O- https://s3.amazonaws.com/download.fpcomplete.com/ubuntu/fpco.key | sudo apt-key add -
echo 'deb http://download.fpcomplete.com/ubuntu/trusty stable main'|sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/fpco.list
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install stack -y
```
* Build & install in one step
```bash
git clone https://github.com/begriffs/postgrest.git
cd postgrest
stack build
sudo stack install --install-ghc --local-bin-path /usr/local/bin
```
* Run the server
```bash
stack exec postgrest -- arg1 arg2
# ... your arguments after the double dashes
postgrest dbconnectionstring arg1 arg2
```
If you want to run the test suite, stack can do that too: `stack test`.
