This was my first official day “in person” at Recurse Center and it was quite the journey! Here’s some of what I accomplished:

• Read thru the README on maelstrom
• Complete installation steps
  • Installed JDK using Open JDK
  • Installed graphviz using homebrew
  • Installed gnuplot using homebrew
  • Installed leiningen using homebrew
  • Cloned the maelstrom repo
  • Note: Need to run lein run to execute the malestrom test harness (i.e. should maybe alias ./maelstrom to lein)
  • Installed ruby using homebrew to avoid using a version manager (watch this space!)
