Sometimes you just want to install all the tools on a new machine or update everything on a machine that you haven't used in a year. Currently you have to install and set everything one by one, but what you'd probably want in this situation is to say ghcup please-ensure-that-I-have-the-recommended-versions-of-everything and be done.

~/.ghcup/bin/ghcup install ghc --set latest

You can create a shell script from this and place it in your path or make it an alias/function in your bashrc.
