1. Make a symlink in "~/lisp-systems/"[*] pointing to the .asd file 2. Start your asdf-enabled lisp 2a. Ensure that "~/lisp-systems/"[*] is in asdf:*central-registry* 3. At the lisp prompt, type '(asdf:oos 'asdf:load-op "split-sequence")'. This will compile and load the system into your running lisp. [*] This path ("~/lisp-systems/") is only a suggestion; the important thing is that asdf know where to find the .asd file. Adsf uses the contents of the variable ASDF:*CENTRAL-REGISTRY* to find its system definitions. These instructions were automatically generated by cCLan software. Use at your own peril.
