 ### Option 3: Everything from Source
 
-With this option, you will compile the core MXNet C++ package and jars for both Scala and Clojure language bindings from source. If you intend to make changes to the code in any of the parts, or if you simply want the latest and greatest features, this choice is for you.

 The first step is to recursively clone the MXNet repository and checkout the desired version, (example 1.4.1). You should use the latest [version](https://search.maven.org/search?q=clojure-mxnet)), and clone into the `~/mxnet` directory:

 #### Building the Clojure jar
- 
-- Enter the `contrib/clojure` directory and edit the `project.clj` file. Add the Scala jar that was just created and installed, e.g., `[org.apache.mxnet/mxnet-full_2.11-osx-x86_64-cpu "latest-version-SNAPSHOT"]`, to the `:dependencies`.

+- Enter the `contrib/clojure` directory.
 - Run `lein test`. All the tests should run without an error.
 - Run `lein install` to build and install the Clojure jar locally.
