# Wanijo > (Toki Pona) > Wan: One, a, unite, make one > Ijo: thing, something, object > Wanijo: Unite things ## How to develop You'll need: - JDK >= 8 - Leiningen >= 2.9 ### First time launch with fresh a database - start a neo4j database with `lein neo4j` - start a repl with `lein repl` or similar - import `wanijo.infra.repl` - if you use leiningen for launching the repl, this will be your init-ns - run `wanijo.infra.repl/create-user!` using the desired username and password as parameters to create an application user - run `wanijo.infra.repl/run-migrations!` to create desireable database constraints and structures ### Launch the application server - start a repl - import `wanijo.infra.repl` - run `wanijo.infra.repl/dev-server!` - the application is available on port `8080` ## Launch as a standalone - build the uberjar via `lein uberjar` - start your neo4j database, preferably **not** via `lein neo4j` - use the environment variables `NEO4J_PORT`, `NEO4J_HOST`, `NEO4J_USER` and `NEO4J_PASS` to control how wanijo connects to the database - start the jar file via `java -jar [jar-file]-standalone.jar` - if this is the first start with a fresh database, connect to the nREPL as described in the chapter "nREPL" and run the commands described in "First time launch with a fresh database" ### nREPL When started via its `main` method, as is the uberjar case, an nREPL server is started with it. The default port is `7888`, but this can be configured via the `NREPL_PORT` environment variable. To connect via the command line, use the following command: ``` clj -Sdeps '{:deps {nrepl/nrepl {:mvn/version "0.7.0"}}}' -m nrepl.cmdline --connect --host host --port port ``` ### "Architecture" > Structure your application as it seems to fit your needs. Then call it architecture and pat yourself on the shoulder. You've achieved something! The first level of structure are the building blocks of the domain, e.g. `instance`, `schema`. Inside these namespaces you'll find namespaces for each technical need: routing, database access, domain rules etc. `wanijo.handler` collects all routes and passes them to ring. `wanijo.infra` contains the namespaces needed for technical code that do not belong to any domain, like database access, routing or similars.
