Using VSCODE instead of emacs:
- Install Common-Lisp (you can skip the emacs portion)
- Update asdf by git cloning the latest version in to ~/common-lisp or another asdf reachable location
git clone https://github.com/fare/asdf.git
- You need to insure you have pre-requisites installed so open sbcl or slime in Emacs and run:
(ql:quickload :cl-json) (ql:quickload :bordeaux-threads) (ql:quickload :usocket) (ql:quickload :flexi-streams)
