How do I create/access ~/.lein/profiles.clj?

I am very new to Clojure and am following Clojure for the Brave and True. One of the steps is to create ~/.lein/profiles.clj . I cannot find how I am supposed to do this so any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

From your question, I take it that you are a) on a Linux system and b) do not yet know your way around Linux. Is that correct?

If so, there are a few things, you should know:

  • Filenames beginning with a dot are hidden. You can not see them in normal file listings. All graphical filemanagers have a switch somewhere to show hidden files. If you are typing in a terminal, you can use the -a option of the command ls to show them. Compare the output of ls ~ and ls -a ~on the command line. You can usually get a command line if you start a "terminal" or "console" from menu.
  • You can create directories on the command line with mkdir. In this case you would call it like this: mkdir ~/.lein on the command line.
  • You can then use one of the many, many text editors to create and edit the profiles.clj file. For example, on the command line call gedit ~/.lein/profiles.clj to open a graphical editor. It should be installed on most systems. If you do not have a graphical user-interface, you could try the editor nano instead of gedit

If you are on a Windows box, all these instructions make no sense. In that case, I cannot help you much as I have never run Clojure on Windows.

If you are already an experienced Linux user and I just misread your question, I beg your pardon for stating the obvious.
