This is a brief and bare-bones guide to getting GHC 7.6.1 and the cabal-installtool (the two basic things you'll need to do Haskell development) up and runningon Mac OS X 10.8 install.

The instructions given here worked for me, but YMMV.

SSHFS 2.5.0 Mac OS X 10.5 or later Intel or PowerPC Released on 03 Feb 2014 Recent Posts Archive Release of FUSE for macOS 3.11.2 Posted on 05 Oct 2020.

1. There is a binary installer that you can download. See also the Getting Started - Installing Git of the git website. There are several ways to install Git on a Mac. The easiest is probably to install the Xcode Command Line Tools. On Mavericks (10.9) or above you can do this simply by trying to run git from the Terminal the very first time.
2. Bringing OS X 10.8+ to older Macs. MacPostFactor has been dev since 2014 when I was in year 9. Thus the code is a mixture of great and bad. I'm currently refining it so it'll fit nicely on github. How things are going? The new MacPostFactor v3.0 is almost complete. It can install OS X Mountain Lion on a MacBook with proper patches.

The problem I ran into was downloading cabal-install 0.14.0 from the Cabal webpagesinstead of the updated cabal-install 1.16.0.

The bootstrap.sh script is provided by cabal-install as an easy way to getcabal-install and all its dependencies up and running.
