### Installation from Hackage

Direct installation from Hackage, while possible via `cabal install haskell-language-server`, is not recommended for most people.
Said command builds the `haskell-language-server` binary and installs it in the default Cabal binaries folder,
but the binary will only work with projects that use the same GHC version that built it.

## Configuring `haskell-language-server`

Language servers like `haskell-language-server` expose most of their configuration via the client (i.e. the editor).
