   6 Code to solve the [Advent of Code](http://adventofcode.com/2016/) puzzles. This year, I'm trying to use the puzzles as a prompt to learn [Haskell](https://wiki.haskell.org/Haskell).
   7
   8 [Learn you a Haskell](http://learnyouahaskell.com/chapters), [Introduction to Haskell 98](https://www.haskell.org/tutorial/index.html), and [Hackage](https://hackage.haskell.org/) are good resources.
   9
  10 I'm using the basic Haskell Platform installation (install with
  11 ```
  12 $ sudo aptitude install haskell-platform
  13 ```
  14 ).
  15
  16 I'm also using some extra libraries. Before installing, run `cabal update` then set `library-profiling: True` in `~/.cabal/config` . Then install the packages with
  17 ```
  18 $ cabal install MissingH
  19 $ cabal install parsec-numbers
  20 $ cabal install cryptonite
  21 $ cabal install pqueue
  22 ```
  23
  24 Compile the code with
  25 ```
  26 ghc --make advent01.hs
  27 ```
  28
  29 then run it as
  30 ```
  31 advent01
  32 ```
  33
  34 If you're profiling, compile and run with
  35 ```
  36 ghc -O2 --make advent01.hs -prof -auto-all -caf-all -fforce-recomp
  37 time ./advent01 +RTS -p -hy
  38 ```
  39
  40 and create the profile picture with `h2ps advent01.hp` .

  42 Build this readme file wth
  43 ```
  44 pandoc -s README.md > README.html
  45 ```
