Getting Started with Zenthyr

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed:

  • Java (JDK installed and on PATH)
  • Node.js + npm
  • Leiningen

Create a New App

If you are developing Zenthyr locally, install the template first:

Terminal window
cd template
lein install

Generate a project (this also runs git init inside the generated folder):

Terminal window
lein new zenthyr my-app

Select a frontend framework:

Terminal window
lein new zenthyr my-react-app   +react
lein new zenthyr my-vue-app     +vue
lein new zenthyr my-svelte-app  +svelte
lein new zenthyr my-angular-app +angular

Run It

Terminal window
cd my-app
lein run

What happens when you run:

  • Ensures frontend dependencies (npm install) exist (creates node_modules/ if needed)
  • Starts Vite (npm run dev) on an available port
  • Opens a JCEF window pointing at the Vite dev server

Project Structure

my-app/
├── project.clj               # Depends on `zenthyr`
├── src/<app-namespace>/main.clj  # Your entrypoint (with `-main`)
└── src/app/                  # Vite project root (UI sources under `src/app/src/`)
