How to install from source

Use an authorised xitstash checkout. The repository is private and no artifact is published.

Prepare the checkout

Install Java 17 or later, Clojure CLI and Babashka. In the xitstash checkout, compile the Java classes:

bb javac

The command writes classes under target/classes.

Add the checkout and xitdb-java to your application’s deps.edn. Replace the local path:

{:deps {com.outskirtslabs/xitstash {:local/root "/path/to/xitstash"}
        io.github.radarroark/xitdb {:mvn/version "0.48.0"}}}

Start a REPL from the application:

clojure -M

Load the public namespace:

(require '[ol.xitstash :as objects])

A successful load returns nil. After changing xitstash’s Java source, rerun bb javac and restart the application JVM.
