You should use https://scoop.sh/ to install clojure (https://github.com/littleli/scoop-clojure) as well as https://scoop.sh/#/apps?q=lein&s=0&d=1&o=true (also, can install jdk if haven't via scoop scoop install temurin-lts-jdk), as it sets environment variables on it own, works like apt in unix. Then, it will work, without any issues.

Another option is to use the (fairly new) MSI installer: https://github.com/casselc/clj-msi/releases/tag/1.11.1.1252 -- this will give you the Clojure CLI, without needing to install a package manager like Scoop.

Big fan here Sir @U04V70XH6 of your blog (https://corfield.org/). I just wanna say the https://github.com/casselc/clj-msi#clojure-installer installs the same https://github.com/borkdude/deps.clj, so choose either way @U04UD707R62 it will work, package manager version is more recent updated 1.11.1.1257 and updates are easy and automated via cli, whereas in msi you gotta do the manual work to download and install.

@U04V70XH6 It worked sir, thanks a lot.

into Environment variable right? if it is this, I've added.

I've added it in c drive inside a lein folder, folder name : lein contains lein.bat file.

Do you have C:\lein in your PATH variable? That's where it needs to be added. You don't need a variable called lein.

in c drive I have made a new folder named lein, inside that I have inserted lein.bat file, sir.

✋ I replied in your first message, uninstall all your clojure setup and follow those steps, it will work.

Thank you buddy, will update after doing the stuffs.

To explain that result see this in your link: > A year y is represented by the integer y - 1900.

Build in? no, but take a look at: https://github.com/juxt/tick or https://github.com/dm3/clojure.java-time

That's horrifying that you need to read doc for something like "get me current year". It should just give the current year as int, what else? Glad I never did Java 🙈

(import [java.time Year])
  (.getValue (Year/now))

tick and java-time are nice Clojure wrappers if you work a lot with time (or plan to target multiple runtimes) but you don't need a middle-man for simple stuff like this imho. Just interop with java.time.

(.getValue (Year/now)) works, but I can't figure out how to get month from it.

I found there's also java.time.Month, but it has no now.

What are you trying to achieve? Perhaps there's a better way

(defn current-month []
  #?(:clj
     (let [date (new java.util.Date)]
       (make-date (.getValue (java.time.Year/now)) (+ (.getMonth date) 1)))
     :cljs
     (let [date (new js/Date)]
       (make-date (.getFullYear date) (+ (.getMonth date) 1)))))

Essentially make-date just returns {:year y :month m} and I use that map (and a few fn to manage it to work with dates, since I have no need for days, TZs etc. Besides it makes it platform-independent.

(import [java.time LocalDate])

  (defn current-month []
    #?(:clj
       (let [date (LocalDate/now)]
         (make-date (.getYear date) (.getMonthValue date)))
       :cljs
       (let [date (new js/Date)]
         (make-date (.getFullYear date) (inc (.getMonth date))))))

1. java.util uses Joda time which is deprecated, you should avoid it 2. Can't tell from this snippet but if you want to extensively target JVM and browsers you should take a look at cljc.java-time or tick 3. if make-date builds a date string, you can use a formatter to build it, there's probably no need to write your own function

Oh that's brilliant, cheers @UEQPKG7HQ!

It doesn't build a string, it just returns that map and I have various simple methods to do (current-month {:year 2023 :month 12}) etc, also converting it to an int so you can do arithmetics on it or comparison etc.

Nothing fancy, just wanted to get rid of the complexity of dates.
