Vagrant / Clojure / Emacs

Question

I want to put together a standard environment for exploring Clojure with Emacs. Has anyone got a recipe that would suit this? I\'m thinking of a Vagrant system running a flavour

Answer 1

vagrant box add preciseMinimal http://goo.gl/wxdwM

Change to Clojure vagrant base folder

vagrant init preciseMinimal
vagrant up

vagrant ssh

or ssh to 127.0.0.1 port 2222 (or other port mentioned in "vagrant up" output)

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cassou/emacs
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install emacs24 emacs24-el emacs24-common-non-dfsg
sudo apt-get install clojure

cd ~/
mkdir bin

sed '$ a\
export PATH=~/bin:$PATH' ~/.bashrc

exit and reconnect to ssh

cd ~/bin
wget https://raw.github.com/technomancy/leiningen/preview/bin/lein
chmod +x lein
./lein


cd ~

A Github hosted, shell provisioned vagrant setup is located here:

https://github.com/pattinsont/Ukelele

All that should be required is a checkout and vagrant up.

Once the VM is up, ssh onto box. Run emacs to complete install. Then M-x cider-jack-in
