Step 2: Complete stack tool installation/setup via PowerShell prompt

> stack ghci

Step 3: Install Visual Studio Code

Step 4: Install Visual Studio Code extension: Haskell

Step 5: Create a new Haskell project on the Visual Studio Code Power shell terminal

Create a new project named Project1 by typing following on Terminal

>stack new Project1

wait for command to complete

It creates a new folder Project1

Step 6: Open the folder from Visual Studio Code

Navigate to the folder Project1 & open

All these files are auto generated

The sub folder app and src are for keeping Haskell source code files

Step 7: Execute following command on Visual Studio Code PowerShell Terminal to build the code

> stack build

It might take some time

Step 8: To run this project type stack run on the Visual Studio Code PowerShell Terminal
