Does apt-get work to install Clojure on Linux (ubuntu 10)?

Just a no-brainer script to install leiningen:

cd `mktemp -d`
wget https://raw.github.com/technomancy/leiningen/stable/bin/lein
chmod +x lein 
sudo mv lein /usr/local/bin/
lein help
cd -

To summarize the comments:

Yes, apt-get works –

... BUT it it is not the preferred way to install Clojure.

So ... whats the "right" way to install Clojure ?

Leiningen remains the up-to-date, conventional way to rapidly get a Clojure installation up and running.

The steps are as follows :

copying this shell script: https://raw.github.com/technomancy/leiningen/stable/bin/lein
moving it to /usr/local/bin
calling sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/lein.

Make sure you have Java installed first, of course.

These steps will install Clojure on any platform with the latest version.
