Hi,
I would like a little bit experimenting with Lua on my Pi. Anyone can me give an intro as how to install it on the Pi?
Thanks.
Re: Lua install
For the basic package:
I would also recommend lua-socket amongst all the available lua librairies
Code: Select all
$ sudo apt-get install lua5.1

Using Linux command line usually boils down to these three things:
#1) Respect the privacy of others.
#2) Think before you type.
#3) With great power comes great responsibility.

Re: Lua install
On Raspbian
sudo apt-get install lua
should get version 5
sudo apt-get install lua
should get version 5

Re: Lua install
Lua is already installed in Raspbian and probably can't be uninstalled to save space since it is used by RaspiConfig, try this in LXTerminal:
$
The first line outputs:
lua - "$1" "$2" "$3" <<EOF > "$3.bak"
lua - "$1" "$2" <<EOF
The last line outputs: "Lua 5.1.5 Copyright (C) 1994-2012 Lua.org, PUC-Rio".
I think Lua could be replaced by Sed or Perl in Raspi-config and then Lua could be removed to save space.
$
Code: Select all
grep lua $(which raspi-config)
lualua - "$1" "$2" "$3" <<EOF > "$3.bak"
lua - "$1" "$2" <<EOF
The last line outputs: "Lua 5.1.5 Copyright (C) 1994-2012 Lua.org, PUC-Rio".
