As of Clojure 1.9, the Clojure jar depends on two additional libraries (spec.alpha and core.specs.alpha). Using only the clojure jar is thus not sufficient.
There are several ways to handle this, as described on the https://clojure.org/guides/getting_started page. 1. Use the new command line clj tools (linux install instructions on that page) - this will fetch the deps for you. 2. Do a local build into a single standalone jar (note this is a custom jar containing deps and is different than just the artifact you downloaded). 3. Use a build tool like leiningen or boot that will fetch the deps for you. 4. Download clojure and its deps manually and build your own custom classpath.
