 You will need `busted` package to be installed locally (to `lua_modules` directory). To install it
-using Luarocks call `luarocks install --tree=lua_modules busted`. You might also want to install
+using Luarocks call `luarocks --lua-version 5.2 install --tree=lua_modules busted`. You might also want to install
 `luacov` to get the coverage information.
 
 After installing call `test.bat` from repo root and watch tests passing. That's it.

+### Getting `tests` to run on Windows
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> Clink and clink-completions use Lua **5.2**; be sure to download Lua 5.2 (not 5.4 or other versions).
+
+**Prerequisites:**
+
+1. Make a local luabin directory, for example `c:\luabin`.
+2. `set PATH=%PATH%;c:\luabin` to add your luabin directory to the system PATH.
+3. Install Lua 5.2 executables from [LuaBinaries](https://luabinaries.sourceforge.net/download.html) to your luabin directory.
+4. Download Lua 5.2 sources zip from [LuaBinaries](https://luabinaries.sourceforge.net/download.html), and extract the headers from its `include` subdirectory into `include\lua\5.2` under your luabin directory.
+5. Install [MinGW](https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/), which is needed because the luasystem luarock wants to build itself from scratch.
+6. Download [luacheck](https://github.com/lunarmodules/luacheck/releases) into your luabin directory.
+7. Download the [luarocks](https://github.com/luarocks/luarocks/wiki/Installation-instructions-for-Windows) executable files into your luabin directory.
+8. `luarocks --local config variables.lua c:\luabin\lua52.exe` to tell luarocks where to find your Lua binaries.
+9. `luarocks --lua-version 5.2 install busted` to install busted.
+10. `luarocks --lua-version 5.2 install luacov` to install luacov.
+11. `set PATH=%PATH%;%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\luarocks\bin` to add the luarocks bin directory to the system PATH, so that `busted` can be found and executed.
+
+That should get everything set up.
+
+**Running `tests`:**
+
+Make sure the PATH has your luabin directory and the luarocks bin directory (from steps 2 and 11 in the prerequisites above).
+
+Then run `tests` from the clink-completions repo root.
