Build Lua and LuaRocks in a self-contained directory on Linux.
localua.sh
localua.sh is a Bash script to download and install a self-contained Lua and LuaRocks on Linux, macOS and MSYS2.
It supports Lua 5.1 to 5.4. It does not officially support other operating systems or environments, and it does not support LuaJIT.
Run the script without arguments to see how to use it.
But I just want to type lua and luarocks!
Say you store your local Lua environment in .lua in your project, just add
.lua/bin at the beginning of your $PATH. This will only work from the root
directory of the project though... but you can also add ../.lua/bin etc if
you want!
MSYS2 dependencies
Before running the script, install base-devel, gcc and unzip.
