   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 the `MissingH` and `Parsec-number` libraries (install with
  17 ```
  18 $ cabal install MissingH
  19 $ cabal install parsec-number
  20 ```
  21 )
  22
  23 Compile the code with
  24 ```
  25 ghc --make advent01.hs
  26 ```
  27
  28 then run it as
  29 ```
  30 advent01
  31 ```
  32
  33 Build this readme file wth
  34 ```
  35 pandoc -s README.md > README.html
  36 ```
