Leiningen
for automating Clojure projects without setting your hair on fire
Leiningen is the easiest way to use Clojure. With a focus on project automation and declarative configuration, it gets out of your way and lets you focus on your code.
Install Leiningen with
your
package manager; for example sudo apt
install leiningen
(defproject leiningen.org "1.0.0" :description "Generate static HTML for https://leiningen.org" :dependencies [[enlive "1.0.1"] [cheshire "4.0.0"] [org.markdownj/markdownj "0.3.0-1.0.2b4"]] :main leiningen.web)
Documentation
The tutorial is the best place to start. If you have Leiningen installed, you can read the tutorial by running lein help tutorial. It does not cover learning the language itself; good Clojure documentation can be found elsewhere.
Running lein help faq will get you the FAQ. Documentation for each individual task is available via lein help $TASK. You can also see the sample project.clj file containing a reference of most project settings by running lein help sample.
