--verbosity VERBOSITY

Set verbosity level: silent, error, warn, info or debug.

-v,--verbose

Enable verbose mode: verbosity level "debug".

--work-dir WORK-DIR

Relative path to Stack's work directory. Overrides any STACK_WORK environment variable. (default: '.stack-work')

--[no-]system-ghc

Enable/disable using the system installed GHC (on the PATH) if it is available and its version matches. (default: disabled)

--[no-]install-ghc

Enable/disable downloading and installing GHC if necessary. (Can be done manually with 'stack setup'.) (default: enabled)

--arch ARCH

System architecture, e.g. i386, x86_64, aarch64.

--ghc-variant VARIANT

Specialized GHC variant, e.g. int-native or integersimple (incompatible with --system-ghc).

--ghc-build BUILD

Specialized GHC build, e.g. 'gmp4' or 'standard' (usually auto-detected).

-j,--jobs JOBS

Number of concurrent jobs to run.

--extra-include-dirs DIR Extra directories to check for C header files.

--extra-lib-dirs DIR

Extra directories to check for libraries.

--custom-preprocessor-extensions EXT

Extensions used for custom preprocessors.

--with-gcc PATH-TO-GCC

Use gcc found at PATH-TO-GCC.

Enable/disable skipping the GHC version and architecture check. (default: disabled)

--[no-]skip-msys

Enable/disable skipping the local MSYS installation (Windows only). (default: disabled)

--local-bin-path DIR

Override the target directory for 'stack build --copy-bins' and 'stack install'. DIR can be an absolute path or one relative to the current directory.

--setup-info-yaml URL

Alternate URL or path (relative or absolute) for Stack dependencies.

--[no-]modify-code-page

Enable/disable setting the codepage to support UTF-8 (Windows only). (default: enabled)

Enable/disable permission for users other than the owner of the Stack root directory to use a Stack installation (POSIX only). (default: inside Docker, true; otherwise, false)

--[no-]dump-logs

Enable/disable dump the build output logs for local packages to the console. (default: dump warning logs)

--color,--colour WHEN

Specify when to use color in output; WHEN is 'always', 'never', or 'auto'. On Windows versions before Windows 10, for terminals that do not support color codes, the default is 'never'; color may work on terminals that support color codes.

--stack-yaml STACK-YAML

Override project stack.yaml file (overrides any STACK_YAML environment variable).

--lock-file ARG

Specify how to interact with lock files. (default: if resolver is overridden: read-only; otherwise: read/write)

Available commands

build

Build the package(s) in this directory/configuration.

install

Shortcut for 'build --copy-bins'.

uninstall

Show how to uninstall Stack or a Stack-supplied tool. This command does not itself uninstall Stack or a Stack-supplied tool.

test

Shortcut for 'build --test'.

bench

Shortcut for 'build --bench'.

haddock

Shortcut for 'build --haddock'.

new

Create a new project from a template. Run 'stack templates' to see available templates. Will also initialise if there is no stack.yaml file. Note: you can also specify a local file or a remote URL as a template; or force an initialisation.

templates

Show how to find templates available for 'stack new'. 'stack new' can accept a template from a remote repository (default: github), local file or remote URL. Note: this downloads the help file.

init

Create Stack project configuration from Cabal or Hpack package specifications.

setup

Get the appropriate GHC for your project.

path

Print out handy path information.

ls

List command. (Supports snapshots, dependencies, Stack's styles and installed tools.)

unpack

Unpack one or more packages, or one or more package candidates, locally.

update

Update the package index.

upgrade

Upgrade Stack, installing to Stack's local-bin directory and, if different and permitted, the directory of the current Stack executable.

upload

Upload one or more packages, or documentation for one or more packages, to Hackage.

sdist

Create source distribution tarballs.

dot

Visualize your project's dependency graph using Graphviz dot.

ghc

Run ghc.

hoogle

Run hoogle, the Haskell API search engine. Use the '-- ARGUMENT(S)' syntax to pass Hoogle arguments, e.g. 'stack hoogle -- --count=20', or 'stack hoogle -- server --local'.

exec

Execute a command. If the command is absent, the first of any arguments is taken as the command.

run

Build and run an executable. Defaults to the first available executable if none is provided as the first argument.

ghci

Run ghci in the context of package(s).

repl

Run ghci in the context of package(s) (alias for 'ghci').

runghc

Run runghc.

runhaskell

Run runghc (alias for 'runghc').

script

Run a Stack script.

eval

Evaluate some Haskell code inline. Shortcut for 'stack exec ghc -- -e CODE'.

Delete build artefacts for the project packages.

purge

Delete the project Stack working directories (.stack-work by default). Shortcut for 'stack clean --full'.

query

Query general build information (experimental).

list

List package id's in snapshot (experimental).

ide

IDE-specific commands.

docker

Subcommands specific to Docker use.

config

Subcommands for accessing and modifying configuration values.

hpc

Subcommands specific to Haskell Program Coverage.

Stack's documentation is available at https://docs.haskellstack.org/. Command 'stack COMMAND --help' for help about a Stack command. Stack also supports the Haskell Error Index at https://errors.haskell.org/.

Warning: this is an unsupported build that may use different versions of dependencies and GHC than the officially released binaries, and therefore may not behave identically.  If you encounter problems, please try the latest official build by running 'stack upgrade --force-download'.
