There should be exactly two blessed ways to run the koans. Using lein 2 is a good idea to get people a good REPL and have them ready to actually do things when they're done w/ the koans. But there's also a lot of value in the easy zipfile-based approach where you just download, unzip, and go.

Calling those 2 paths out specifically would probably help, so people can follow one thread rather than searching for their option in every section.

The zipfile-based approach needs to be totally separated so it's obvious it's a different path, might be out of date, best for zero-setup, etc.

Why not include a copy of the bin/lein script in the zip file that can do the whole self-install thing once decompressed?

That's a really interesting idea I hadn't thought of. The initial reason for the zipfile releases was for conferences/workshops where I couldn't count on having internet connections, but maybe that's just a 3rd use case...)

Also seems the recommendation to make a fork so you can utilize the network tab are no longer good either. "Couldn’t load network graph. Too many forks to display."

Thanks, Github!

On OS X, the recommended instructions should probably be:

brew install leiningen
lein koan run
