clojure-lsp is available in the Arch User Repository. It can be installed using your favorite AUR helper such as yay, yaourt, apacman and pacaur. Here is an example using yay:

yay -S clojure-lsp-bin

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.

Embedded jar (Legacy executable)#

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

  • You need java on your $PATH.
  • Grab the latest clojure-lsp from github LATEST
  • Place it in your $PATH with a chmod 755
