This is what I use.  Most of my use is just typing into the repl, so I
don't really need anything else. If I were writing lots of maxima
code, I would consider installing and using some maxima package tool,
but I don't.

Occasionally, when I'm hacking the maxima's lisp code, I'll use slime
to connect with lisp, but it's usually just easier and more reliable
just to :lisp (load (compile-file "foo")).
