Requirements

There are just a few requirements for this workshop:

• A working Java runtime environment (JRE) - test with java -version in a command line window
• Leiningen - test with lein version in a command line window
• A Clojure aware editor with REPL
  • LightTable
  • Emacs (with Emacs Live)
• A Git client (optional)

See the section on Development Environments for Clojure for more options

You may notice that there is no actual Clojure installation. Clojure is a library that is added to the project, just like any other dependency (ie. in Maven, Gradle, etc).

The Clojure library is very small and Leiningen caches it and oll other libraries locally in the same folder structure that Maven uses, eg ~/.m2/repository/
