To just run Clojure, click on the Downloads button at the “ClojureCLR Github site”http://github.com/richhickey/clojure-clr.

Binary distributions are labeled:

clojure-clr-RELEASE-TYPE-DOTNETVERSION.zip

RELEASE corresponds to a Clojure release such as 1.2.0 or to an interim build such as 1.3.0-alpha2.
TYPE is Debug or Release
DOTNETVERSION is 3.5 or 4.0.

To proceed:

Download the zip file of your choice.
(For some versions of Windows) Clear the ‘downloaded from the internet flag’ by right-clicking the zip file in the File Explorer and selecting the Unblock box.
Unzip.
Run Clojure.Main.exe to start.

There is also an excellent Visual Studio plugin:

Which provides a ‘no setup’ path to creating Clojure projects.
