Installing Snap
Snap is written in the Haskell programming language, and requires the GHC Haskell compiler.
The easiest way to get Snap is with Haskell's Cabal package manager. If you already have Cabal set up, then getting Snap should be as simple as running two commands:
$ cabal update $ cabal install snap snap-templates $ mkdir foo; cd foo; snap init
If you don't have GHC and cabal installed, the easiest way to get them is with the Haskell Platform binary installer.
After Snap is installed, check out the quick start for instructions on getting your project started.
