@spapas did you check the linked document? https:/go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=135170

MachinePolicy       Undefined
   UserPolicy       Undefined
      Process       Undefined

thheller06:04:44

maybe yours if set different?

Serafeim Papastefanos06:04:04

@thheller i was actually able to install it using this project https://github.com/borkdude/deps.clj

Serafeim Papastefanos06:04:26

however i understand that clj does not create new projectt so i ended up using lein anyway

seancorfield14:04:15

@spapas There's https://github.com/seancorfield/clj-new for the CLI/`deps.edn` which is based on lein new, and https://github.com/seancorfield/deps-new which is the simpler, newer version based solely on clojure.tools.build -- feel free to ask Qs in #deps-new about either of those.

seancorfield14:04:47

Note that since you're on Windows, you'll run into the weird quoting issues described in https://clojure.org/reference/deps_and_cli#quoting

seancorfield14:04:37

(my recommendation for Windows users is to use WSL2, if possible, so you can just follow all the normal macOS/Linux instructions for all Clojure tools -- only about 5% of Clojure developers use Windows with Powershell)

Serafeim Papastefanos14:04:12

I'm one of the few that use cmd.exe :(

seancorfield14:04:00

You'll find life difficult with Clojure -- all the books and tutorials assume macOS/Linux and a lot of tooling and libraries won't work on cmd/PS (or won't work directly "as documented").

seancorfield14:04:28

Seriously consider adding WSL2 and using bash instead -- it will make your Clojure journey a lot easier. VS Code understands WSL2 so you can use it natively on Windows, even with all your files on WSL2. That's my setup.

Thanks I'll keep it in my mind next time I hit a wall!
