Using VSCODE instead of emacs:
- Install Common-Lisp (you can skip the emacs portion)
- Update asdf by git cloning the latest version in to ~/common-lisp or another asdf reachable location
git clone https://github.com/fare/asdf.git
-
Download and install vscode
-
Go to - https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=rheller.alive
You need to insure you have pre-requisites installed so open sbcl or slime in Emacs and run;
(ql:quickload :cl-json) (ql:quickload :bordeaux-threads) (ql:quickload :usocket) (ql:quickload :flexi-streams)
Click install and follow directions
- Cmd+Shift+P - type shell command
Go through install
- load up a .lisp file and the REPL should load
