Install Lisp Interpreter in Debian Jessie

Question

I convinced myself to learn Lisp. I'd like to know of a way to install a Lisp Interpreter on Debian(Jessie). I was reading about clisp but is not in the repositories of Debian.

SBCL is included in Debian too, and it's a really popular Common Lisp implementation.

You can use this command :

sudo apt-get install sbcl

Next, we set up Quicklisp, the package manager. This is similarly:

$ curl -o /tmp/ql.lisp http://beta.quicklisp.org/quicklisp.lisp

$ sbcl --no-sysinit --no-userinit --load /tmp/ql.lisp \
   --eval '(quicklisp-quickstart:install :path ".quicklisp")' \
   --quit

The GNU clisp is only available for debian Buster and Sid through apt.

For debian Stretch and Jessie the GNU clisp can be installed through guix package manager.

To install clisp:

$ guix package -i clisp

Sample output from debian Stretch:

clisp --version
GNU CLISP 2.49.60 (2017-06-25) (built 2208985201) (memory 3734909887)
Software: GNU C 5.5.0
