So I wanted to run my Clojure application in Amazon Elastic Beanstalk without going through the trouble of building JARs etc.

I had some issues with file permissions etc so I’m just writing here what needed to be done for others (and Google) to find. I assume you have already created an application and a Java environment based on Amazon Linux and Java 8, and you have successfully deployed the Sample application, and also that you have done the `eb init` dance to setup the Elastic Beanstalk CLI on your machine and project.

1. Setup your application so that it runs via the clojure command like `clojure -m myapp.main`
2. Ensure that you read the HTTP port with `(System/getenv "PORT")` (the default port in EB is 5000), and that you write logs etc to STDOUT and STDERR.
3. Add a `Procfile` at the root of your project containing:

```auto
web: clojure -m myapp.main

```

1. Create an `.ebextensions` directory, and inside it create a file called `setup.config` (only the extension is relevant, you can name it as you please), containing:

```auto
option_settings:
  - option_name: CLJ_CONFIG
    value: /home/webapp/.clojure

commands:
  01_install_clojure:
    command: |
      curl -O https://download.clojure.org/install/linux-install-1.10.0.442.sh
      chmod +x linux-install-1.10.0.442.sh
      sudo ./linux-install-1.10.0.442.sh

```

That’s all! You can now do `eb deploy` (or most probably `eb deploy --staged`) and you should have a working Clojure HTTP application on Elastic Beanstalk.

Your logs appear at `/var/log/web.1.log` (stdout) and `/var/log/web.1.error.log` (stderr).
