There are functions other people have written that we want to use but that are not included in the Prelude. However, such functions exist in library modules that can be imported into our source code file or loaded directly into GHCi. A standard set of library modules comes with GHC (the Glasgow Haskell Compiler we have been using), but other modules require installation. ...
