LuaRocks
========

A package manager for Lua modules.

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/keplerproject/luarocks.png?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/keplerproject/luarocks)

Main website: [luarocks.org](http://www.luarocks.org)

It allows you to install Lua modules as self-contained packages called
[*rocks*][1], which also contain version [dependency][2] information. This
information is used both during installation, so that when one rock is
requested all rocks it depends on are installed as well, and at run time, so
that when a module is required, the correct version is loaded. LuaRocks
supports both local and [remote][3] repositories, and multiple local rocks
trees. You can [download][4] and install LuaRocks on [Unix][5] and
[Windows][6].

LuaRocks is free software and uses the same [license][7] as Lua 5.1.
