Emacs

Getting Started

If you don't know Emacs, you may want to pick one of the choices above. The learning curve here is steep.

Make sure you have Java installed.
Make sure you have leiningen installed.
Clone the labrepl project and change directory into it.
Run lein deps to install all the dependent libraries.
Install Emacs Starter Kit using elpa:
- Install package.el (Not required for emacs version > 23)
  - cd ~/.emacs.d
  - wget http://bit.ly/pkg-el23 -O package.el - this will download package.el
  - Open package.el in emacs ~/.emacs.d/emacs package.el and eval buffer M-x eval-buffer
- Include marmalade repo (require 'package) (add-to-list 'package-archives '("marmalade" . "http://marmalade-repo.org/packages/")) (package-initialize) paste this in scratch and eval buffer M-x eval-buffer
- Refresh package contents M-x package-refresh-contents
- Install starter-kit M-x package-install RET starter-kit
Within Emacs run ELPA M-x package-list-packages, go to the following packages and press i to select:
- clojure-mode
- slime-repl
- swank-clojure
Once the three packages are selected press x to install them. Close Emacs when the installation completes.
From a terminal in the labrepl directory run the swank process: lein swank
Run Emacs again emacs -l ~/.emacs.d/emacs-starter-kit/init.el
Connect to the running clojure image M-x slime-connect accepting the defaults.

To run the labrepl:
