IntelliJ IDEA

Getting Started

This is a one-time setup that does not require the git command line, Maven, or leiningen.

• Install IntelliJ IDEA. (The free Community Edition works fine.)
• Install the La Clojure plugin...
  • Go to File > Preferences
  • Open the Plugins preference and select the Available tab
  • Select La Clojure, right-click it, and choose "Download and Install"
• Restart IDEA.
• Clone the labrepl project from GitHub:
  • Go to Version Control > Checkout From Version Control > Git.
  • Fill in the dialog with:
    • Git Repository URL: git://github.com/relevance/labrepl.git
    • Origin Name: (leave blank)
    • Parent Directory: (choose an arbitrary directory)
    • Directory name: labrepl
  • Hit the "Clone" button
  • Choose "Yes" when prompted to create an IDEA project, and then select:
    • Import Project from external model
    • Choose Maven if given choice of models
    • Accept all the defaults. If this is your first time running IntelliJ you will need to choose a JDK. When prompted locate the JDK you wish to use by clicking the plus icon and clicking through the dialog.
  • Wait for Maven to download all the dependent libraries.

To run the labrepl:

• Choose Tools > Clojure REPL > Add New Clojure REPL

  • (labrepl/-main)
• Browse to http://localhost:8080
