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. Leiningen and Clojure require Java. OpenJDK version 8 is recommended at this time. 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. If your preferred package manager offers a recent version of Leiningen, try that first as long as it has version 2.x. Windows users can use the above script in the Linux subsystem or try the batch file or Powershell version instead. Most tasks need to be run from somewhere inside a project directory to work, but some (new, help, search, version, and repl) may run from anywhere.
