# The `stack runghc` and `stack runhaskell` commands
~~~text
stack runghc [-- ARGUMENT(S) (e.g. stack runghc -- X.hs)]
[--[no-]ghc-package-path] [--[no-]stack-exe] [--package PACKAGE]
[--rts-options RTSFLAG] [--cwd DIR]
~~~
`stack runhaskell` has the same effect as `stack runghc`. `stack runghc` has the
same effect as, and is provided as a shorthand for,
[`stack exec runghc`](exec_command.md), with the exception of the `--package`
option.
Pass the option `--package ` to add the initial GHC argument
`-package-id=`, where `` is the unit ID of the specified
package in the installed package database. The option can be specified multiple
times.
