You might not have the right package archive available. Try M-x package-list-packages And then see if haskell-mode is listed. If not, you’ll need to add require 'package) (add-to-list 'package-archives '("marmalade" . "http://marmalade-repo.org/packages/" )) (package-initialize) to your .emacs (or the equivalent statement for MELPA). On Dec 10, 2013, at 1:19 AM, Miro Karpis wrote:

Thanks,

now I'm getting "Install package: haskell-mode[No match]". I'm doing this via gnu-emacs in OSX

Do I need to download the package and place it somewhere?

Thanks, m.

Instructions says: via package manager add: M-x package-install <RET> haskell-mode <RET> I can open package manager, but where should I paste the command?

That's not really pasteable as such.

M-x refers to pressing Meta-x (for a terminal this may not be available without special configuration) or Esc followed by x. <RET> is the Return key.

So: press Esc, x (minibuffer shows "M-x "), type "package-install", press Return, type "haskell-mode", press Return. (If you have configured Terminal to use Option for Meta --- this is not default as it disables internationalization --- then you can press Option-x instead of Esc followed by x.)
