Luaish on luarocks ? #3

Open djcoin opened 11 years ago

djcoin commented 11 years ago

I barely used luaish as I just started learning lua (I come from python/javascript) and I was looking for an interactive repl.

I struggled to install and use luaish as no clues was provided.

I think it would be great to provide more details for the setup and obviously to package it in Luarocks !

I made a quick shell script to automate its launch on linux, if of any help:

-- file: ~/bin/luaish ---

!/bin/bash

( cd ~/.luarocks/__fromsource/luaish/ && lua -lluarocks.loader lua.lua $@ )

Cheers, Simon

Sorry about the lack of documentation, these things happen when I am in a hurry to get something out.

I will get luaish into LuaRocks - can do this now because lua-linenoise is in the repo!
