Install Clang or run `brew install gcc`. Managed to get it working with the Linux install script: https://clojure.org/guides/install_clojure#_linux_instructions

i haven't seen brew be recommending way of installing any piece of software to date, other than on macs.
ubuntu basically has per software install instructions, you gotta follow those for every app/lib you install
apt will have out of date stuff, snap has it's own issues (sometimes it's good enough). and most systems require docker or a custom install script that they provide
I would use the install script probably from an ansible playbook or something like that for setting up an ec2 server. AWS has support for that with SSM ...
@U0LAJQLQ1 because it's recommended on the official Clojure installation instructions: https://clojure.org/guides/install_clojure#_linux_instructions
