luaver helps to manage and switch between different versions of Lua, LuaJIT and Luarocks.
- Installs/Uninstalls any version of Lua, LuaJIT or luarocks with a single command.
- Switches between different versions of 'Lua', 'LuaJIT' or 'Luarocks' easily, without glitches.
- Consistency between 'Lua' and 'Luarocks' maintained - Rocks and configurations for different lua versions are stored differently.
- Every terminal session can have a different environment configured. Default versions can also be configured.
Requires make, either of wget or curl.
You may need to install some dependencies:
sudo apt-get install libreadline-dev Also, if you are planning to install older versions of Lua(which are 32-bit) on 64-bit machines, you may need to install some 32-bit libraries:
sudo apt-get install lib32ncurses5-devYou can install from the script directly:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dhavalkapil/luaver/master/install.sh | sh -s - -r v1.1.0Follow the instructions which appears after the luaver installation.
