Recently, I attempted to get started with the boot build system by
running the boot-cljs-example repository.
On my system, while running the suggested build script:
1
| boot serve -d target/ watch speak reload cljs-repl cljs -sO none
|
I ran into the following error:

To fix this: note that boot relies on a boot.properties file for version information
and uses that instead of your system versions if set.
To fix the error above, change your BOOT_VERSION in boot.properties
to be 2.7.2 instead of 2.5.5.
Happy coding! For extra information, see the version information below:
Version & System Notes
To do so, I installed the default version of boot as of the time of writing.
The version output of this version is:

Additionally, I am running Java 1.8. and node 7.10 via Ubuntu 16.04’s
node package, but with nvm (node version manager) installed.
