| 40 | <h2>Installation</h2> | ||
| 41 | |||
| 42 | <p> Here we describe the standard distribution. If the | ||
| 43 | standard doesn't meet your needs, we refer you to the Lua | ||
| 44 | discussion list, where any question about the package scheme | ||
| 45 | will likely already have been answered. </p> | ||
| 46 | |||
| 47 | <h3>Directory structure</h3> | ||
| 48 | |||
| 49 | <p> On Unix systems, the standard distribution uses two base | ||
| 50 | directories, one for system dependent files, and another for system | ||
| 51 | independent files. Let's call these directories <tt><CDIR></tt> | ||
| 52 | and <tt><LDIR></tt>, respectively. | ||
| 53 | For example, in my laptp, Lua 5.1 is configured to | ||
| 54 | use '<tt>/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1</tt>' for | ||
| 55 | <tt><CDIR></tt> and '<tt>/usr/local/share/lua/5.1</tt>' for | ||
| 56 | <tt><LDIR></tt>. On Windows, <tt><CDIR></tt> | ||
| 57 | usually points to the directory where the Lua executable is | ||
| 58 | found, and <tt><LDIR></tt> points to a | ||
| 59 | <tt>lua/</tt> directory inside <tt><CDIR></tt>. (These | ||
| 60 | settings can be overridden by environment variables | ||
| 61 | <tt>LUA_PATH</tt> and <tt>LUA_CPATH</tt>. See the Lua | ||
| 62 | documentation for details.) Here is the standard LuaSocket | ||
| 63 | distribution directory structure:</p> | ||
| 64 | |||
| 65 | <pre class=example> | ||
| 66 | <LDIR>/ltn12.lua | ||
| 67 | <LDIR>/socket.lua | ||
| 68 | <CDIR>/socket/core.dll | ||
| 69 | <LDIR>/socket/http.lua | ||
| 70 | <LDIR>/socket/tp.lua | ||
| 71 | <LDIR>/socket/ftp.lua | ||
| 72 | <LDIR>/socket/smtp.lua | ||
| 73 | <LDIR>/socket/url.lua | ||
| 74 | <LDIR>/mime.lua | ||
| 75 | <CDIR>/mime/core.dll | ||
| 76 | </pre> | ||
| 77 | |||
| 78 | <p> Naturally, on Unix systems, <tt>core.dll</tt> | ||
| 79 | would be replaced by <tt>core.so</tt>. | ||
| 80 | </p> | ||
| 81 | |||
| 82 | <h3>Using LuaSocket</h3> | ||
| 83 | |||
| 84 | <p> With the above setup, and an interpreter with shared library support, | ||
| 85 | it should be easy to use LuaSocket. Just fire the interpreter and use the | ||
| 86 | <tt>require</tt> function to gain access to whatever module you need:</p> | ||
| 87 | |||
| 88 | <pre class=example> | ||
| 89 | Lua 5.2.2 Copyright (C) 1994-2013 Lua.org, PUC-Rio | ||
| 90 | > socket = require("socket") | ||
| 91 | > print(socket._VERSION) | ||
| 92 | --> LuaSocket 3.0-rc1 | ||
| 93 | </pre> | ||
| 94 | |||
| 95 | <p> Each module loads their dependencies automatically, so you only need to | ||
| 96 | load the modules you directly depend upon: </p> | ||
| 97 | |||
| 98 | <pre class=example> | ||
| 99 | Lua 5.2.2 Copyright (C) 1994-2013 Lua.org, PUC-Rio | ||
| 100 | > http = require("socket.http") | ||
| 101 | > print(http.request("http://www.impa.br/~diego/software/luasocket")) | ||
| 102 | --> homepage gets dumped to terminal | ||
