# luarocks-admin add Add a rock or rockspec to a rocks server. ## Usage `luarocks-admin add [--server=] [--no-refresh] [--index] {|}...` Arguments may be local rockspecs or rock files. The flag `--server` indicates which server to use. If not given, the default server set in the `upload_server` variable from the [configuration file](config_file_format.md) is used instead. You need to either explicitly pass a full URL to `--server` or configure an upload server in your configuration file prior to using the `add` command. Flags: * `--no-refresh` - The local cache should not be refreshed prior to generation of the updated manifest. * `--index` - Produce an `index.html` file for the manifest. This flag is automatically set if an `index.html` file already exists. ## Examples ### Basic example Add a rockspec to your default configured upload server: ``` luarocks-admin add lpeg-0.9-1.rockspec ``` ### Handling multiple repositories Assuming your `~/.luarocks/config.lua` file looks like this: ```lua upload_server = "main" upload_servers = { main = { http = "www.example.com/repos/main", sftp = "myuser@example.com/var/www/repos/main" }, dev = { http = "www.example.com/repos/devel-rocks", sftp = "myuser@example.com/var/www/repos/devel-rocks" }, } ``` you can specify which repository to use with the `--server` flag: ``` luarocks-admin add --server=dev my_rock-scm-1.rockspec ```
