Introduction

I am developing a simple web application in Common Lisp that facilitates the execution of the System Usability Scale (SUS) questionnaire. This app allows users to easily conduct usability evaluations by presenting the standard SUS questions and collecting responses. The goal is to streamline the process of gathering and analyzing usability feedback.

Dependencies

Installation instructions

1. Install a Common Lisp implementation

Ensure you have a Common Lisp implementation installed. Common options include SBCL (Steel Bank Common Lisp) and CCL (Clozure Common Lisp). You can download and install them from their respective websites:
- SBCL
- CCL

2. Set up ASDF

ASDF is typically bundled with modern Lisp implementations. However, if it's not present, you can download it from ASDF's repository.

3. Organize the project directory

Place the dev.metalisp.survey project in the ~/common-lisp directory. Ensure the directory structure looks like this:

~/common-lisp/
  └── dev.metalisp.survey/
      ├── dev.metalisp.survey.asd
      └── src/
          └── app.lisp

4. Configure ASDF to find the project

Open your Common Lisp REPL and run the following commands to set up the ASDF central registry:

;; Ensure ASDF is loaded
(require :asdf)

;; Add ~/common-lisp to the ASDF central registry
(push #p"~/common-lisp/" asdf:*central-registry*)

5. Load the project

In your REPL, load the project by running:
```
(asdf:load-system :dev.metalisp.survey)
```

6. Run the project

After loading the system, you can run the main function or entry point of the project. ml-survey:start, you would execute:
```
(ml-survey:start)
```

Optional: Example Initialization in .sbclrc

To make the ASDF configuration persistent across REPL sessions, you can add the setup to your .sbclrc file:

Edit .sbclrc
- Open (or create) the .sbclrc file in your home directory and add the following lines:
```
(require :asdf)
(push #p"~/common-lisp/" asdf:*central-registry*)
```
Reload SBCL
- The next time you start SBCL, it will automatically include the ~/common-lisp directory in the ASDF central registry.
