💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Manually install and manage Lua headers for various Lua versions. That’s the whole mission, and honestly? iconic 🎀

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• --server <server> — Fetch rocks/rockspecs from this server; it takes priority over the config file 👑
• --extra-servers <extra-server> — Fetch rocks/rockspecs from these servers in addition to the main server, and this overrides any entries in the config file 🌈
• --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 🫶
• --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 this isn’t 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. To enable TRACE logs, set RUST_LOG=trace 🔥
• --no-progress — Don’t print any progress bars or spinners 🙈
• --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 🫠
• --no-tfa — Disable prompts for two-factor authentication (2FA) codes. It is strongly recommended to enable 2FA instead see (https://luarocks.org/settings/two-factor-auth).

🚨 bestie, no cap: enabling 2FA is strongly recommended. This flag is literally just turning off the prompts for those codes.

• --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') 💖

okurrr, final footer sign-off: install-lua + lux-cli-install-lua(1), and there’s no date line in the original to report. bye bestie 💖🎀
