1、简介

该软件包可以安装和更新lua的第三方模块。

2、下载地址

请在 http://luarocks.org/releases/ 页面选择需要的软件包。

wget http://luarocks.org/releases/luarocks-2.1.0.tar.gz

3、安装

tar -zxvf luarocks-2.1.0.tar.gz

cd luarocks-2.1.0

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/luarocks

make build

make install

OK了,luarock的可执行文件被安装到了 /usr/local/luarocks/bin/luarocks.

4、使用(暂时把英文直接copy过来，有时间再翻译)

使用luarocks安装lua模块的示例:

luarocks install luasocket

luarocks install luasql-sqlite3

luarocks install lpeg

luarocks install lzlib

luarocks install luafilesystem

luarocks install luasec

luarocks install md5

luarocks install luacurl

luarocks install luasql-mysql MYSQL_INCDIR=/usr/include/mysql MYSQL_LIBDIR=/usr/lib64/mysql/ (mysql的各种路径自己locate去找吧 = = ！)

luarocks install lua-cjson

1.模块安装后如果在程序require的时候提示找不到相应模块则可以在luarocks和lua之间做一个软链接:

例如安装完luasql-mysql之后可能在程序中require的时候会提示找不到模块，这时候我们可以：

cd /usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/

mkdir luasql

ln -s /usr/local/luarocks/lib/lua/5.1/luasql/mysql.so /usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/luasql/mysql.so

2.运行时提示attempt to index global 'luasql' (a nil value) 代码里面require "luasql.mysql"需要这样写

luasql = require "luasql.mysql"

Usage

luarocks [--server=server | --only-server=server] [--tree=tree] [--only-sources=url] [--deps-mode=mode] [VAR=VALUE]...command [argument]

Variables from the "variables" table of the configuration file can be overriden with VAR=VALUE assignments.

--server=server

Fetch rocks/rockspecs from this server (takes priority over config file)

--only-server=server

Fetch rocks/rockspecs from this server only (overrides any entries in the config file)

--only-sources=url

Restrict downloads of sources to URLs starting with the given URL. For example, --only-sources=http://luarocks.org will allow LuaRocks to download sources only if the URL given in the rockspec starts with http://luarocks.org .

--tree=tree

Which tree to operate on.

--deps-mode=mode

Select dependencies mode:

How to handle the list of rocks servers given in the rocks_servers array in theconfig file.

one - Consider only the tree at the top of the list (possibly, the one given by the --tree flag, overriding all entries from rocks_trees), ignore all others

all - Consider all trees: if a dependency is installed in any tree of the rocks_trees list, we have a positive match.

order - Consider only trees starting from the "current" one in the order, where the "current" is either:

the one at the bottom of the rocks_trees list,

or one explicitly given with --tree

or the "home" tree if --local was given or local_by_default=true is configured (usually at the top of the list)

Supported commands

Build/compile and install a rock.

Download a specific rock or rockspec file from a rocks server.

Help on commands.

Install a rock.

Lists currently installed rocks.

Compile package in current directory using a rockspec and install it.

Create a rock, packing sources or binaries.

Return the currently configured package path.

Uninstall a rock.

Query the LuaRocks repositories.

Shows information about an installed rock.

Unpack the contents of a rock.

Overview of the difference between "make", "build", "install" and "pack"

luarocks install modulename

downloads a binary .rock file and installs it to the local tree (falls back to "luarocks build modulename" behavior if a binary rock is not found)

luarocks build modulename

downloads a .src.rock or a rockspec and builds+installs it to the local tree.

luarocks build modulename-1.0-1.linux-x86.rock

extracts the rockspec from the rock and builds it as if the rockspec was passed in the command-line (i.e., redownloading sources and recompiling C modules if any).

luarocks build modulename-1.0-1.rockspec

builds+installs the rock using the given rockspec downloading the sources

luarocks make modulename-1.0-1.rockspec

builds+installs the rock using the rockspec using the contents of your current directory (kind of like the way make uses a Makefile) instead of downloading sources

luarocks pack modulename

grabs the rock from your local tree and packs it into a binary .rock file

luarocks pack modulename-1.0-1.rockspec

downloads the sources from the url and packs it into a .src.rock file
