# Install Lisp ASDF packages as a user with CLC #
*Aug 15, 2009*

CLC or Common Lisp Controller is a system that other Lisp systems user to keep track of ASDF systems (a mouthful I know).  By default, system packages are installed to /usr/share/common-lisp/ but what happens if you don't have root access but still want to leverage the ease of use CLC installed ASDF packages provide?

 clc-register-user-package to the rescue!  Create ~/.clc/source and put your ASDF package there, then simply run
<pre>
$ clc-register-user-package ~/.clc/source/package/package.asd 
</pre>

and volia, you can <i>(require :package)</i> from any of your Lisp systems there after.

It's pretty awesome. :)
