Install Clojure and Leiningen

Set up the Clojure CLI and Leiningen so Java engineers can run REPL sessions, build projects, and execute the NoSQL track examples.

Use this section to install the Clojure command-line tools and Leiningen without turning setup into a separate migration project. Java engineers should come away with enough tooling to start a REPL, run examples, and understand where dependencies are declared.

Setup decision What to verify
Clojure CLI clojure starts and can evaluate a small expression.
Leiningen lein can create, test, and run a small project.
JVM alignment The tools use a JDK version compatible with the database clients you plan to run.
