-By default all those variables are set to strings (e.g. `lein repl`).

+It is highly recommended to use a cons pair like `("localhost" . 5555)` to

 #### Lumo Socket REPL
 
-For lumo, setup a generic command in `init.el` to start the socket repl (say, 
port 5555)
+Lumo is decoupled from `inf-clojure-project-type` and therefore the command 
used depends on what you are using for dependency resolution.
+
+For example if a `project.clj` is present in the project root folder, 
`inf-clojure-lein-cmd` will be used.
+
+After you launch `lumo ... -n 5555`, as customary, either `C-c M-c RET 
localhost RET 5555` from within Emacs or add the following to your 
`.dir-locals.el`:
 
 ```el
-(setq inf-clojure-repl-use-same-window nil)
-(setq inf-clojure-generic-cmd '("localhost" 5555))     
+((nil . ((inf-clojure-lein-cmd . ("localhost" . 5555)))))
 ```
 
-Then start lumo repl, like so:
+or the following to your [Emacs init file][]:
 
-```bash
-lumo -n 5555
+```el
+(setf inf-clojure-lein-cmd '("localhost" . 5555))
 ```
 
-If you want to use lumo with Clojure devtools

+Project detection can be completely skipped and the `generic` project type can
