| # luarocks install |
|
|
| Install a rock. |
|
|
| ## Usage |
|
|
| `luarocks install [--keep] [--only-deps] {<rock> | <name> [<version>]}` |
|
|
| Argument may be the name of a rock to be fetched from a server, with optional |
| version, or the direct URL or filename of a rockspec. In case of more than one |
| rock matching the request, the `install` command favors binary rocks. |
|
|
| Unless `--keep` is passed, other versions of the rock are removed after |
| installing the new one. |
|
|
| If `--only-deps` is passed, the rock itself is not installed, but its |
| dependencies are. |
|
|
| ## Examples |
|
|
| Installing a rock: |
|
|
| ``` |
| luarocks install luasocket |
| ``` |
|
|
| Installing a specific version of a rock: |
|
|
| ``` |
| luarocks install luasocket 3.0rc1 |
| ``` |
|
|
| Installing a rock ignoring its dependencies: |
|
|
| ``` |
| luarocks install busted --deps-mode=none |
| ``` |
