installing lua socket lib

I am trying to install luasocket, but it I can't find any info how to do this. I downloaded from luaforge luasocket-2.0.2.tar.gz archive, but there is no configure file, only MVS solutions. So, how to get compiled libs?

Solution

  • You can install LuaSocket via LuaRocks:

    luarocks install luasocket

    or directly from git:

    luarocks install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/diegonehab/luasocket/master/luasocket-scm-0.rockspec
