Getting Ready

Prerequisites

Before we get started, make sure you have:

• Installed CIDER and it's prerequisites (see Installation)

• Configured your Leiningen install to use the CIDER REPL plugin (see Configuration)

• Cloned the GitHub repository (see Presentation Materials)

Notes

Emacs Configuration

A minimal Emacs init file (init.el) was used for the exercises and screenshots in this chapter. The init file contains the minimal configuration necessary to enable installation of third-party Emacs packages such as CIDER.

In Spiking CIDER we will progressively update the Emacs init file to enhance the CIDER development experience.
