Paul, I first struggled to find a way to do everything manually cause I didn't like someone else's self installer messing up my distributions setup. I think I've found a satisfactory hybrid approach to setup my IDE on any machine now in 4 chunked steps.
1. I rely on the distro to install emacs, slime, and git, and the base system we would expect on a *nix machine. 2. I then bootstrap a checkouted out leiningen. -Download stable lein script (see Phil's github readme) and rename it to lein-stable, put it in path -git clone developers version (I actually checkout my own fork that has some modifications to swank-clojure and lein-swank plugin. This makes it easy to deploy and it includes any potential new plugins I would write. I build the jar for swank-clojure) -run lein-stable deps in the checkout directory. Symlink checkedout lein script to path. -if you ever want to use a custom version of some clojure lib, check it out, reversion it, and run lein install to put it in the local repo 3. I setup my .emacs for clojure -Link clojure-mode and swank-clojure (add-to-list 'load-path "~/clj/clojure-mode") (require 'clojure-mode) (add-to-list 'load-path "~/clj/emacs-slime/swank-clojure") (require 'swank-clojure) 4. Connect to a running swank-server -create a new project directory with a swank-clojure as a dependency in the project.clj -run lein swank -in emacs M-x slime-connect Hopefully that might give you some ideas.
