    <p>Here is the back story skip to the bottom if you do not care and only want to see the question.</p> <p>So I have been playing around in LISP for a little while. Some basic functions, some classes ,and file IO. When I run across this article:</p> <p><a href="http://www.adampetersen.se/articles/lispweb.htm" rel="noreferrer">http://www.adampetersen.se/articles/lispweb.htm</a></p> <p>And I am excited to try and use lisp for a web application. I go and download the packages, but for the life of me do not know how to load them into my Allegro IDE. </p> <p>Hmm... ok, well the hunchentoot site says a lot of the basic packages are in LispWorks. So I download that. Still not sure how to get the source for the packages that I downloaded into these IDEs. They seem to have binaries of the packages? </p> <p>Oh well maybe ill switch to my ubuntu server and apt-get all the packages and setup slime (i have not used it before because I just wanted to learn lisp. Learning emacs and lisp at the same time seemed real daunting). I apt get all the packages needed and load up slime and again same problem there aren't available.</p> <p>I dig around some more and see this program called ASDF. It looks like ASDF is some kind of package builder for lisp? I don't know it seems confusing. I'm about to give up at this point.</p> <hr> <p>If you are still reading this here is my question.<br> 1. How do I load the source for these packages into my lisp environment. trying to learn lisp hasn't been too hard but the information about the environments has been sparse. Do I need to build the packages I download with ASDF.<br> 2. Is there a simple way for someone to just get up and running in lisp without having to speed a large amount of time upfront learning all the tools?</p>
