clojure-lsp is available as a native executable in the Clojure Scoop bucket. You need to install Scoop if you don't have it already.

Issue following command to download the clojure-lsp executable.

Manually#

The binaries are available on Github releases as clojure-lsp-native-<os>-<arch>.zip, after downloading you just need to unzip it.

In Github releases you will find a clojure-lsp file that runs a embedded jar. This should be removed soon, use GraalVM binaries instead.
