Prerequisites

Before starting the installation process, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

Step 1: Install the Java Development Kit(OpenJDK 8)

To start with the installation, we need to install the Java Development Kit(OpenJDK 8) first. Enter the following command in the terminal window to install it:

Step 2: Install Leiningen

The next step is to install Leiningen, which is a build automation tool for the Clojure programming language. Run the following commands one by one:

mkdir ~/bin
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/technomancy/leiningen/stable/bin/lein -P ~/bin
chmod a+x ~/bin/lein

Add the ~/bin directory to the PATH variable:

Activate the changes to your .bashrc by running this command:

source ~/.bashrc

Step 3: Install Pallet

Now, let's install Pallet using Leiningen. Navigate to your desired directory and type the following command in your terminal window:

lein new app my-pallet-app

This command will create a new Pallet project named my-pallet-app. Navigate to the project directory by typing the following command:

cd my-pallet-app

Now, add the Pallet dependency to the project.clj file. Open the file using your favorite text editor and add the following line under :dependencies:

[com.palletops/pallet "0.8.0-RC.9"]

Then, save and close the file.

Update the project dependencies:

lein deps

Step 4: Build and Run Pallet
