Getting Started

Thanks to the magic of Leiningen templates, generating a new Duct project is as easy as typing:

lein new duct hello +site +example

This will create a directory called hello containing the new project.

The +site and +example arguments are profile hints. These add extra functionality to the base Duct template. In this case, we're adding functionality to build a website (+site), and adding an example endpoint (+example).

Next, change directory into the new project:

cd hello

Once inside the project, you can optionally run:

lein setup

This will generate files for local configuration. These files allow you to customize your development environment without using files in version control.
