  -== Minimal Install
  -
  -Clojure requires http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html[Java] 1.6 or greater.
  -
  -For Clojure 1.8, you can download the Clojure jar and start a REPL:
  -
  -[source,shell]
  -----
  -curl -O http://central.maven.org/maven2/org/clojure/clojure/1.8.0/clojure-1.8.0.jar
  -java -cp clojure-1.8.0.jar clojure.main
  -----
  -
  -As of Clojure 1.9, Clojure depends on two additional libraries, so you need to download both Clojure and those libraries:
  -
  -[source,shell]
  -----
  -curl -O http://central.maven.org/maven2/org/clojure/clojure/1.9.0-RC2/clojure-1.9.0-RC2.jar
  -curl -O http://central.maven.org/maven2/org/clojure/spec.alpha/0.1.143/spec.alpha-0.1.143.jar
  -curl -O http://central.maven.org/maven2/org/clojure/core.specs.alpha/0.1.24/core.specs.alpha-0.1.24.jar

  === Installation on Linux
  
  Package installers are not yet available but this process can be used to manually install the latest version of the `clj` script on a *nix system. First ensure that the following dependencies are installed: curl, rlwrap, and Java. Then use the following commands to download and run the installer script, which will create /usr/local/bin/clj, /usr/local/bin/clojure, and /usr/local/lib/clojure:

  There are several ways to get started using Clojure:
  
  * Clojure installer and CLI tools
  * Build tools like Leiningen or Boot
  * Local build
  * Try Clojure online
  
  Once you've installed, check out <<learn/syntax#,Learn Clojure>> pages or <<xref/../../community/resources#,Resources>> page to find tutorials and resources for learning Clojure!
  
  == Clojure installer and CLI tools
  
  Clojure provides <<deps_and_cli#,scripts>> that can be used to start a Clojure repl, use Clojure and Java libraries, and start Clojure programs. The best way to get started is by installing the tools using the platform installers.
