+Check out the source and run `lein deps` in the root folder to fetch all
+dependencies. This takes a couple of seconds. After that, you can run the server
+with `lein ring server-headless`. Now you can verify that nothing went wrong if
+you open up the browser and go http://0.0.0.0:3000/. There should be nothing
