Clojure

To install Clojure with Scoop you have to add two important buckets first:

# if you don't have git version control system installed
# it is required for adding new external buckets to your scoop installer
# you can skip this step otherwise
scoop install git
# add scoop bucket for Java
scoop bucket add java
# add scoop bucket with extras, here there is a dependency on visual studio redistributable 'extras/vcredist2022'
scoop bucket add extras
# add scoop bucket for clojure build
scoop bucket add scoop-clojure https://github.com/littleli/scoop-clojure

Now we are ready to install Java and Clojure by issuing following commands:

# install TCK certified Java runtime and compiler if you need to (optional)
scoop install temurin-lts-jdk
# install official clojure tools
scoop install clj-deps
# update to the newest version
scoop update clj-deps

After successfully running steps above, you should be able to run Clojure with following:

clj

Emacs users should now issue clj and clojure commands without hassle.
