🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Download a specific rock file from a luarocks server. Literally the whole plot. You point it at a <PACKAGE_REQ>, it goes and grabs the rock file for you. Main character energy fr fr. 🫶

🦋 OPTIONS 🦋

  • --server <server> — fetch rocks/rockspecs from this server. Heads up: this one takes priority over whatever's chillin' in your config file. 👑
  • --extra-servers <extra-server> — fetch rocks/rockspecs from these servers in addition to the main server. This overrides any entries in the config file, so like… it's giving "I make the rules now." 🔥
  • --namespace <namespace> — specify the luarocks server namespace to use.
  • --lua-dir <prefix> — specify the directory in which to install Lua if it's not found. Lost Lua? We'll look here. 🧚
  • --lua-version <ver> — which Lua installation to use. Valid versions are: '5.1', '5.2', '5.3', '5.4', '5.5', 'jit' and 'jit52'. If not set, Lux will attempt to detect the Lua version:
    • from the current project, if it has an exact Lua version requirement
    • from the Lua installation that is available on the PATH
  • --tree <tree> — which tree to operate on. In a workspace, this can be used to specify a detached workspace tree. 🌈
  • --cache-dir <cache-dir> — specifies the cache directory, e.g. for luarocks manifests. 🍓
  • --data-dir <data-dir> — specifies the data directory, in which the default user install tree resides (e.g. ~/.local/share/lux).
  • --variables <variable> — override config variables. Example: lx -v "LUA=/path/to/lua" ...
  • --profile <profile> — the build profile to use when compiling packages. Default: release.

Possible values:

  • release
  • dev
  • --verbose — display verbose output of commands executed, enabling DEBUG logs. Wanna go even deeper? To enable TRACE logs, set RUST_LOG=trace. 😭 (yes, really)
  • --no-progress — don't print any progress bars or spinners. For when the spinners are simply too much sensory input today. 🙈
  • --no-prompt <NO_PROMPT> — skip prompts, selecting the default option. Prompting is enabled by default in terminal/TTY environments.

Possible values:

  • true
  • false
  • --preset <preset> — configure Lux for a specific environment. Valid presets are: 'nvim'

Possible values:

  • nvim: Configure Lux for Neovim plugins
  • --nvim — [DEPRECATED] Configure lux for installing Neovim packages. Use --preset nvim instead. (She's iconic but she's retired, bestie. 💀)
  • --no-tfa — disable prompts for two-factor authentication (2FA) codes.
Ngl, it is strongly recommended to enable 2FA instead — see (https://luarocks.org/settings/two-factor-auth). Protect yourself. 🔐
  • --timeout <seconds> — timeout on network operations, in seconds. 0 means no timeout (wait forever). Default is 30.
  • --max-jobs <MAX_JOBS> — maximum buffer size for parallel jobs, such as downloading rockspecs and installing rocks. 0 means no limit. Default is 0.
  • --no-luarc — do not generate or update a .luarc.json file when building a project.
  • --no-wrap-bin — do not wrap Lua bin scripts.
  • --user-agent <USER_AGENT> — the user agent to set when making web requests. Default is "lux/<version>".
  • -h, --help — print help (see a summary with -h).
  • <PACKAGE_REQ> — the package request. Put the thing you want here. That's the assignment. 💖

And that's the whole page, bestie — every flag, every default, every possible value, all accounted for. No cap. 🎀
