Description

A wrapper around Datomic Free that makes it easy to start Datomic Free transactors and upgrade to newer versions.

Usage

For first time users:

$ git clone https://github.com/cldwalker/datomic-free.git ~/.datomic-free
$ ~/.datomic-free/bin/datomic-free start

# To make it easy to use `datomic-free` add an alias to your bashrc/zshrc
$ echo 'alias datomic-free=$HOME/.datomic-free/bin/datomic-free' >> ~/.zshrc
$ . ~/.zshrc
$ datomic-free start

# To specify transactor.properties (Absolute path only)
$ datomic-free start /absolute/path/to/transactor.properties

# To migrate existing data/ to datomic-free
$ rm -rf ~/.datomic-free/data
$ cp -R $OLD_DATOMIC_REPO/data  ~/.datomic-free/

Whenever you'd like to update to the latest Datomic Free:

$ datomic-free update

This new version is now the active datomic-free version. Since datomic-free keeps data outside of versions in ~/.datomic-free/data, you use the same data across versions by default.

To update to a specific version, pass a version:

$ datomic-free update 0.8.3627

To use another version you've already installed:

$ datomic-free use 0.8.3646
