title: Is there a nice and easy installer for Clojure on Mac OS (Leopard)?
body: <p>I found the following guide:</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://mark.reid.name/sap/setting-up-clojure.html" rel="nofollow">http://mark.reid.name/sap/setting-up-clojure.html</a></p>
  
  <p>but it seems like a whole lot of manual steps, and I bet it is out of date already. Installing ClojureBox on Windows was a breeze. Does anyone know of a simple installer for it? Where can I download it, and what are the steps?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
  
  <p><em><strong>EDIT:</em></strong> Tried installing cake, got:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ sudo gem install cake
  Password:
  ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Gem::RemoteSourceException)
      HTTP Response 302
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Also tried installing using the script:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ sudo ./cake_install.rb 
  http://github.com/ninjudd/cake-standalone/raw/master/jars/cake-0.5.4.jar

  Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: Bad version number in .class file (ordered_set.clj:1)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT 2</strong>: Now the Java version issues :) What version of Java do I need and where to download it?</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ sudo cake test
  Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: Bad version number in .class file (ordered_set.clj:1)

  <p>My Leopard software is up to date :(</p>
  
  <pre><code>Apple Computer supplies their own version of Java. Use the Software Update feature (available on the Apple menu) to check that you have the most up-to-date version of Java for your Mac. If you have problems with downloading, installing or using Java on Mac, please contact Apple Computer Technical Support.

  <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> Hm ... I suspect that one of the suggestions I tried broke my ability to connect to the internet (both wired as well as wireless) on Apple :(</p>
