Getting Started

System requirements

Java 7 and Clojure 1.5 are required to run Pulsar.

Using Leiningen

Add the following dependency to Leiningen’s project.clj:

[co.paralleluniverse/pulsar "0.2.0"]

Then, the following must be added to the project.clj file:

:java-agents [[co.paralleluniverse/quasar-core "0.2.0"]]

or, add the following to the java command line:

-javaagent:path-to-quasar-jar.jar

Building Pulsar

Clone the repository:

git clone git://github.com/puniverse/pulsar.git pulsar

and run:

lein midje

To build the documentation, you need to have Jekyll installed. Then run:

jekyll build

To generate the API documentation run

lein doc

You can run the examples like this:

lein -o run -m co.paralleluniverse.pulsar.examples.pingpong

For benchmarks, you should use lein trampoline, like so:

lein trampoline run -m co.paralleluniverse.pulsar.examples.ring-benchmark 1000 1000
