I never tried out core.logic. This is how I just got it "installed" in less than a minute. Really no magic here:
lein new foo; cd foo # google "core.logic", grab the dependencies vector ([org.clojure/core.logic "0.7.5"]), attach it to your project.clj lein repl (use 'clojure.core.logic)(run* [q] (== q true)) Same principle for practically every single Clojure lib.
