# *Pulsar*
Fibers, Channels and Actors for Clojure
[](https://travis-ci.org/puniverse/pulsar) [](https://www.versioneye.com/user/projects/52b019ccec137505ee00002e) [](https://github.com/puniverse/pulsar/releases) [](https://www.eclipse.org/legal/epl-v10.html) [](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl.html)
Pulsar wraps the [Quasar](https://github.com/puniverse/quasar) library with a Clojure API that's very similar to Erlang.
## Requirements
Java 7 and up and Clojure 1.5 and up are required to run Pulsar.
## Getting started
Add the following dependencies to [Leiningen](http://github.com/technomancy/leiningen/)'s project.clj:
```clojure
[co.paralleluniverse/quasar-core "0.7.9"]
[co.paralleluniverse/pulsar "0.7.9"]
```
Then, the following must be added to the project.clj file:
~~~ clojure
:java-agents [[co.paralleluniverse/quasar-core "0.7.9"]]
~~~
or, add the following to the java command line:
~~~ sh
-javaagent:path-to-quasar-jar.jar
~~~
Alternatively, to build Pulsar from the source, clone the repository and run:
```
lein midje
```
You can run the examples like this:
```
lein -o run -m co.paralleluniverse.pulsar.examples.pingpong
```
For benchmarks, you should use `lein trampoline`, like so:
```
lein trampoline run -m co.paralleluniverse.pulsar.examples.ring-benchmark 1000 1000
```
## Usage
Documentation and examples can be found [here](http://docs.paralleluniverse.co/pulsar/).
You can also read the introductory [blog post](http://blog.paralleluniverse.co/post/49445260575/quasar-pulsar).
When running code that uses Pulsar, the instrumentation agent must be run by adding the following
to the `java` command line
or to the `:jvm-opts` section in project.clj:
```
-javaagent:path-to-quasar-jar.jar
```
