Installation

Ludi is distributed through LuaRocks.

Global

luarocks install ludi

Per project

luarocks install ludi --tree lua_modules

The per-project install works like node_modules: rocks land in a local lua_modules directory instead of the system tree.

Prebuilt binaries

Prebuilt binary rocks are published for Linux and macOS (Lua 5.4, 5.5 and LuaJIT), so no Rust toolchain is needed.

On platforms without a prebuilt rock, LuaRocks falls back to building from source, which requires Rust installed.

Requirements

• Lua 5.1+ or LuaJIT (Lua 5.5 recommended)
• LuaRocks 3.x
• Rust (only when building from source)

Loading LuaRocks paths

If require("ludi") isn’t found after installing, load the LuaRocks paths into your shell:

eval "$(luarocks path)"
