Currently we don't and refer the user to the ghcup download homepage, because: 1. it forces them to get a basic understanding of what ghcup is and how they can use it outside of VSCode 2. it requires them to set up PATH properly and understand how to run `ghc`/`ghci` outside of VSCode 3. on windows, it also installs msys2 on demand (or lets them point to an existing msys2), sets up cabal config and environment variables * ghcup itself currently cannot install msys2, only the powershell bootstrap script @wz1000 suggested that the extension may install ghcup. The main challenges here are: 1. how to deal with msys2 on windows 2. can we run the *interactive* bootstrap scripts on both linux and windows through the extension?
