@pfr You will need a lisp environment.

Many distributions has SBCL directly available.

If you have chosen one of the suggested texts, they will presumably provide instructions on how to set something up related to the text.

There is also https://lispbox.common-lisp.dev though it is oriented towards Emacs, which may not be ideal for you.

For learning, it is not terribly important which lisp dialect you select. If you are into retrocomputing, you may want to check out https://interlisp.org

@lproven @pfr @drwho @beardie_jamie Not really, at work we did a one point use lisp for a product and I had a colleague that was doing his work exclusively with vim.

I am myself immersed in emacs so cannot comment in depth but vim has (my understanding is) numerous extensions that makes it useable for lisp work.
