How to install a clojure library available on my machine locally so it can be accessbile to other projects?

Question

I've built a clojure library, it's on my local machine and now I want to test as it were a third-party library as well as testing it internally by tests.

How can I install the library locally by lein the same way I can install libraries normally by "project.clj" -> ":dependencies [[....]]"

lein install should install it to your ~/.m2 directory to give you exactly what you want.

and how can I update my library later? will "lein install" overwrite it? – Alan Coromano Jan 27 '16 at 04:08
the normal practice is to use a `-SNAPSHOT` version when you intend to overwrite it later, so as long as you're doing that it should be fine. – gfredericks Jan 28 '16 at 03:08

It said "Installed jar and pom into local repo." but it doesn't exist neither in .m2 no in .m2/repository/ Why? – Alan Coromano Jan 30 '16 at 05:12
I've never had that problem, so I have no idea. – gfredericks Jan 30 '16 at 19:06
