🛠️ Build `clojure-lsp` from Source on Termux

This guide explains how to build the latest version of clojure-lsp in Termux, install it to your local bin directory, and make it accessible from anywhere.

✅ Prerequisites

Make sure you have these installed in Termux:

pkg update
pkg install -y git openjdk-17 clojure

🔽 1. Clone the Latest `clojure-lsp` Source Code

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/clojure-lsp/clojure-lsp
cd clojure-lsp

🛠️ 2. Build the Prod CLI Binary

cd cli
clojure -T:build prod-cli

This generates a native binary clojure-lsp and a standalone .jar file in the cli/ directory.

📦 3. Copy the Binary to `~/.local/bin`

mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
cp clojure-lsp ~/.local/bin/

🧩 4. Add `~/.local/bin` to your `$PATH`

Edit your ~/.bashrc (or .zshrc if using zsh):

nano ~/.bashrc

Add this line at the end:

export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"

Save and reload your shell:

source ~/.bashrc

✅ Verify

which clojure-lsp
clojure-lsp --version

You should see version output like:

clojure-lsp 2025.06.13-xx.xx.xx
clj-kondo 2025.06.05

🎉 Done!

You now have the latest clojure-lsp built from source and accessible globally from Termux.
