Leiningen is for automating Clojure projects without setting your hair on fire.
## Installation
If your preferred
[package manager](https://github.com/technomancy/leiningen/wiki/Packaging)
offers a recent version of Leiningen, try that first as long as it has version 2.x.
Leiningen installs itself on the first run of the `lein` shell script; there is no
separate install script. Follow these instructions to install Leiningen manually:
1. Make sure you have Java installed; OpenJDK version 8 is recommended at this time.
2. [Download the `lein` script from the `stable` branch](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/technomancy/leiningen/stable/bin/lein)
of this project.
3. Place it on your `$PATH`. (`~/bin` is a good choice if it is on your path.)
4. Set it to be executable. (`chmod +x ~/bin/lein`)
5. Run it.
Windows users can use the above script in the Linux subsystem or try
[the batch file](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/technomancy/leiningen/stable/bin/lein.bat) or
[Powershell version](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/technomancy/leiningen/stable/bin/lein.ps1)
instead.
## Basic Usage
The
[tutorial](https://github.com/technomancy/leiningen/blob/stable/doc/TUTORIAL.md)
has a detailed walk-through of the steps involved in creating a new
project, but here are the commonly-used tasks:
$ lein new [TEMPLATE] NAME # generate a new project skeleton
$ lein test [TESTS] # run the tests in the TESTS namespaces, or all tests
$ lein repl # launch an interactive REPL session
$ lein run -m my.namespace # run the -main function of a namespace
$ lein uberjar # package the project and dependencies as standalone jar
$ lein deploy clojars # publish the project to Clojars as a library
Use `lein help` to see a complete list. `lein help $TASK` shows the
usage for a specific task.
You can also chain tasks together in a single command by using the
`do` task with comma-separated tasks:
$ lein do clean, test foo.test-core, jar
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.
## Configuration
The `project.clj` file in the project root should look like this:
```clj
(defproject myproject "0.5.0-SNAPSHOT"
:description "A project for doing things."
:license "Eclipse Public License 1.0"
:url "http://github.com/technomancy/myproject"
:dependencies [[org.clojure/clojure "1.8.0"]]
:plugins [[lein-tar "3.2.0"]])
```
The `lein new` task generates a project skeleton with an appropriate
starting point from which you can work. See the
[sample.project.clj](https://github.com/technomancy/leiningen/blob/stable/sample.project.clj)
file (also available via `lein help sample`) for a detailed listing of
configuration options.
The `project.clj` file can be customized further with the use of
[profiles](https://github.com/technomancy/leiningen/blob/stable/doc/PROFILES.md).

## Plugins
Leiningen supports plugins which may introduce new tasks. See
[the plugins wiki page](https://github.com/technomancy/leiningen/wiki/Plugins)
for a full list. If a plugin is needed for successful test or build
runs, (such as `lein-tar`) then it should be added to `:plugins` in
project.clj, but if it's for your own convenience (such as
`lein-pprint`) then it should be added to the `:plugins` list in the
`:user` profile in `~/.lein/profiles.clj`. See the
[profiles guide](https://github.com/technomancy/leiningen/blob/stable/doc/PROFILES.md)
for details on how to add to your `:user` profile. The
[plugin guide](https://github.com/technomancy/leiningen/blob/stable/doc/PLUGINS.md)
explains how to write plugins.
