How to install lamina / aleph to Clojure?

Question

Currently, I use Leiningen 2.1.3 on Java 1.6.0_45

Clojure 1.5.1 connected LightTable IDE 0.4.11

I want to install lamina, but looking at Installation-

[lamina "0.5.0-rc3"]

doesn't make sense to me since I'm fairly new.

Please advice how to install, and some good resource for the library management system.

Thanks!

You just need to add that line to the :dependencies section of your project.clj file so it looks something like this:

...
:dependencies [[org.clojure/clojure "1.5.1"]
               [lamina "0.5.0-rc3"]]
...

Then, use it in wherever you need it:

(ns myproj.core
  (:require [lamina.core :as lamina]))

This would make it so you call the channel function like this: (lamina/channel 1 2 3)

Or in the repl:

user=> (use 'lamina.core)
nil
user=> (def ch (channel 1 2 3))
#'user/ch
user=> ch
<== [1 2 3 …]

Thanks. I read http://www.unexpected-vortices.com/clojure/brief-beginners-guide/libs-management-and-use.html and understood how lein manage the library. Your answer is concise, too. — , Jul 03 '13 at 19:47
