Hi, complete clojurescript newb here. After completing the steps in the Install section of the readme, there's an Update where it tells you that you can update boot by running boot -u. I think that I was supposed to do this after getting the wrapper on my machine, but that was not clear to me when I started, so I skipped that step and went straight to boot -h which did apparently work but not exactly as described in the readme (I had to execute boot -h twice before getting the help info to appear.)

The Update section does state:

With the wrapper installed you can update Boot's JAR files and keep up to date with the following command:

But I read that as "you could do this, in the future, when you need to update", not "you should do this right now".
