HUGS on Mac OS X
There is a MacPorts package for Hugs (under the name hugs98).
GHC on Mac OS X
GHC is available through MacPorts or as a standalone installer.
MacPorts
MacPorts contains a Portfile for GHC. Using MacPorts to install GHC will take a while as your computer will compile all the source files itself. In most cases, you're better off installing GHC through the standalone installer (see next section).
If you have MacPorts installed and haven't told it to selfupdate in a while, do that first:
$ sudo port selfupdate
This will take up to a minute, so be patient. It tells MacPorts to retrieve the latest package information from its servers. Next, install GHC:
$ sudo port install ghc
MacPorts will first download and install any dependencies that are needed to install GHC; then it will download, build and install GHC itself.
Standalone Installer for Mac OS X 10.5 (Intel)
There is a standalone installer available for Mac OS X 10.5 (Intel). It requires Xcode 3.0 to be already installed. If you do not have Xcode, you can install it from the installation DVD you got with you Mac or download it for free from Apple Developer Connection.
