The script will install the executables `haskell-language-server-wrapper` and `haskell-language-server`.
It will copy the latter appending the used ghc version, needed by the wrapper to choose the suitable version
for the project at hand.

The Haskell Language Server can also be built with `cabal v2-build` instead of `stack build`.

To see what GHC versions are available, the command `cabal-hls-install ghcs` can be used.
