Clojure Installer

This repo contains a script to build an MSI package for installing Clojure. It downloads the Windows binaries for the latest version of deps.clj, ClojureTools, and the WiX toolset automatically and creates a combined installer file. The installer supports per-user or per-machine (requires elevation) installation.

New releases should appear automatically shortly after the release of deps.clj versions.

How to install

Download the latest MSI from the releases. Depending on your browser you may see warnings about the installer being an infrequently downloaded file - you will need to select the option to keep the file/continue downloading.

After downloading, double-click the MSI file or run msiexec.exe /i clojure-x.x.xx.msi from a command prompt or PowerShell session. In PowerShell, be careful of the shell automatically changing the path from clojure-x.x.xxx.msi to .\clojure-x.x.xxx.msi, the latter format will cause msiexec to report an error.

Advanced options

You can use msiexec.exe /i clojure-x.x.xx.msi /qn for a silent installation.

Currently the installer defaults to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Apps\clojure or %ProgramFiles%\clojure depending on whether you select a per-user or per-machine installation, and the installation directory can be changed by using the Advanced option during installation, or at the command line by settingsthe APPLICATIONFOLDER property, e.g. msiexec.exe /i clojure-x.x.xx.msi /qn APPLICATIONFOLDER=C:\somewhere\else\clojure

How to uninstall

Use Add/Remove Programs, or msiexec.exe /x clojure-x.x.xxx.msi
