Installing Leiningen for Clojure on Linux Mint 12

clojure, leiningen, linux-mint

Solution

It seems like your `~/bin` directory is not on your `PATH`.

In your `.bashrc` (or `.bash_profile`) you need to add something like:

export PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH

Problem

Im a clojure beginner.I did the following steps as given on http://www.unexpected-vortices.com/clojure/brief-beginners-guide/development-env.html to setup Leiningen on my machine running Linux Mint 12. ``` cd ~/bin wget https://raw.github.com/technomancy/leiningen/stable/bin/lein chmod +x lein lein self-install ``` But now when i run the following command : ``` lein new foobar ``` I get ``` The program 'lein' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install leiningen ``` I see a file leiningen-1.7.1-standalone.jar in ~/.lein/self-installs. Why am i being asked to install lein again using package manager even though i used the self-install method ? Please Help Thank You
