Read [more][problem-solution] about the motivations behind these choices.
- download [luajit]
- choose/download wanted packages along with their listed dependencies
- unzip all over the same directory
- (optional) [rebuild][building] binaries
- run a demo:
luajit ..._demo.lua
This will give you an instantly portable luajit distro that will work reagardless of where you run it from.
The luajit binary is in bin/<your-platform>/ (cross-platform shell wrappers are in the root dir).
Alternatively you can go the git way with [luapower-git] which allows you to:
- clone/build everything in one shot
- keep your modules up-to-date by pulling
- [create your own modules][get-involved] and publish them
NOTE: The listed dependencies for a package are for the modules of that package only. Associated demos and test units can sometimes have additional dependencies which are not listed, so I better tell you now: some test units need unit, and most demos need [cplayer] and [glue].
NOTE: Packages marked
devare either in active development or are planned for more development in the future. In any case, they are not yet ready for public consumption. Poke around of course, just don't expect stability.
