Using VSCODE instead of emacs:

• Install Common-Lisp (you can skip the emacs portion)

• Install Common-Lisp for MacOS
• Install Common-Lisp for Win64
• Install Common-Lisp for Linux

• Update asdf by git cloning the latest version in to ~/common-lisp or another asdf reachable location

git clone https://github.com/fare/asdf.git

• You need to insure you have pre-requisites installed so open sbcl or slime in Emacs and run:

(ql:quickload :cl-json) (ql:quickload :bordeaux-threads) (ql:quickload :usocket) (ql:quickload :flexi-streams)

• Download and install vscode

• Go to - https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=rheller.alive

Click install and follow directions

• Cmd+Shift+P - type shell command

Go through install

• load up a .lisp file and the REPL should load
