Try this for any leiningen project (check for the existence of a project.clj file). I'm assuming you're using a unixy operating system. First and once-off, install leiningen: wget http://github.com/technomancy/leiningen/raw/stable/bin/lein chmod a+x lein ./lein self-install Clone target project (in this case Compojure): git clone git://github.com/weavejester/compojure.git cd compojure Ask Lein to download Compojure's dependencies (this includes Clojure, you don't need to it install it manually): ../lein deps Fire up a repl: ../lein repl Clojure 1.1.0 user=> (use 'compojure.core) nil Alternatively if you're using Java 6 you can start the REPL without any wrapper script pretty easily. I prefer to do it this way as it makes it obvious what the classpath is and allows tweaking the JVM options (for example increasing the memory limit with -Xmx256m). java -cp 'lib/*:classes:src' clojure.main Clojure 1.1.0 user=> (use 'compojure.core) nil > Is there a less cumbersome way to get a load of files on the classpath > than manually editing the .clojure file? Note the wildcard 'lib/*' notation I used above. This was added in Java 6. Be aware that it has to be some/directory/* not *.jar, foo* or any other variation. Put it in single quotes to make sure your shell doesn't try and expand it. It'll add any jar files found in the directory to the classpath. Hope that helps.
