The most direct way to get the "official" Clojure experience is using the community-maintained Windows installer, which is now the preferred route mentioned in official guides .
: Open a new terminal and type clj . This should start a Read-Eval-Print Loop (REPL), where you can type Clojure code like (+ 1 1) . 3. Alternative: Using Leiningen
: Get the lein.bat script from the Leiningen homepage.
: Run the installer. It will set up the clj and clojure commands and automatically configure your system environment variables.
: Get the latest .msi from the clj-msi GitHub releases.
: Place lein.bat in a folder (e.g., C:\bin ) and add that folder to your system's PATH .
Once downloaded, you'll want a "smart" editor to write your code: Install Clojure
Installing Clojure on Windows is more straightforward than it used to be, thanks to the official MSI installer and modern package managers. To get started, you will need a working Java environment and then a way to run Clojure itself. 1. Prerequisite: Install Java
