Building with Leiningen

Leiningen is the defacto standard build tool for Clojure applications. Like most things I describe on this site, I won’t go into the details or history of any specific tool if that information is available elsewhere.

You should install Leiningen from the link above and then come back when you’re done.

…

Now that you’ve got it installed, we’ll create a Compojure web application based on a template built into Leiningen.

lein new compojure todo-compojure

You should now have a minimal Compojure webapp in the todo-compojure folder. Launch it with

lein ring server

and visit it at http://localhost:3000. It should actually open automatically.

Next up, we’ll take a tour of the generated code.
