Install the Haskell Platform:
apt-get install haskell-platform
Install purescript from Hackage:
cabal install purescript
Ensure the compiler works:
psc
Try the interactive mode:
psci
Clone the starter kit project and follow the instructions in the README file:
git clone git@github.com:purescript/starter-kit.git
If you can't install via Hackage for any reason, you can follow along by using the Try PureScript! website or use a pre-prepared Vagrant box.
