In addition to tools.deps, which reads dependencies etc from a deps.edn file, 
you might want to look at Boot http://boot-clj.com which allows you to use 
libraries via the command line without needing a project or source files etc:

    boot -d clj-http repl

This will start a Clojure REPL (anywhere) with the clj-http library loaded. 
Boot also has a call task that accepts Clojure code via the command-line:

    boot -d clj-http call -p -e “(require ‘[clj-http.client :as http])” -e 
‘(http/get “http://google.com”)’

The -p option tells call to print the result of each expression.

Thanks Alex ... just what I was looking for - putting the jars in classpath 
that is!

I'll try out the new tool a little later though.

Sure. You need a jar for Clojure and a jar for clj-http and then just run Java 
with those in a classpath:

java -cp clojure.jar:clj-http.jar my-program

There is a lighter weight tool that we've added in Clojure 1.9 (also works with 
1.8) that can help in assembling classpaths and serving as a runner. All it's 
really doing is taking a statement of deps and building the classpath to make 
that call. If you're interested in that, this will be useful:

Hi,
I am trying to use clj-http in my clojure program. I am trying to do the whole 
thing in a "light-weight" manner - without creating a project and all or using 
lein. Is that possible? or do I need to use Lein?

Kashyap
