Using clj cli on Windows
16 January 2021
Deps and CLI1 is really simple and clean way to run clojure. But there is no official installation guide for Windows users. But theoretically, it should work on any platform, as the underneath is JVM!
The official clojure site provides Linux installation method: https://clojure.org/guides/getting_started#_installation_on_linux
And you can simulate Linux environment with Cygwin.
Firstly, download setup-x86_64.exe 2 and install cygwin on your Windows
box.
Then, Open mintty.exe follow the guideline on https://clojure.org/guides/getting_started#_installation_on_linux
curl -O https://download.clojure.org/install/linux-install-1.10.1.763.sh chmod +x linux-install-1.10.1.763.sh sudo ./linux-install-1.10.1.763.sh
Finally, fix the path issue in two place:
# Set dir containing the installed files - install_dir=/usr/local/lib/clojure + install_dir=C:/cygwin64/usr/local/lib/clojure tools_cp="$install_dir/libexec/clojure-tools-1.10.1.754.jar" # Determine user config directory if [[ -n "$CLJ_CONFIG" ]]; then config_dir="$CLJ_CONFIG" elif [[ -n "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME" ]]; then config_dir="$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/clojure" else - config_dir="$HOME/.clojure" + config_dir="C:/Users/kimim/.clojure" # Where your .clojure located fi
Now, you can use clojure -M:run to run clojure deps.edn project in
mintty.exe.
