🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Uninstall a rock from the system 🫶

that's it. that's the function. it's giving "simple and iconic" and honestly we love that for us ✨

💖 OPTIONS 💖

okay so here's the full menu, no skips, no "you don't need to know that one" — every single flag, exactly as it ships 🎀

  • --server <server> — fetch rocks/rockspecs from this server — and it takes priority over whatever the config file says 👑
  • --extra-servers <extra-server> — fetch rocks/rockspecs from these servers in addition to the main server{n} (yep, and it 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.{n} Valid versions are: '5.1', '5.2', '5.3', '5.4', '5.5', 'jit' and 'jit52'.{n} If not set, Lux will attempt to detect the Lua version:{n} — from the current project, if it has an exact Lua version requirement.{n} — from the Lua installation that is available on the PATH
  • --tree <tree> — which tree to operate on.{n} 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,{n} in which the default user install tree resides{n} (e.g. ~/.local/share/lux)
  • --variables <variable> — override config variables.{n} Example: lx -v "LUA=/path/to/lua" ... 🔥
  • --profile <profile> — the build profile to use when compiling packages.{n} Default: release

Possible values:

  • release
  • dev
  • --verbose — display verbose output of commands executed, enabling DEBUG logs.{n} 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.{n} Prompting is enabled by default in terminal/TTY environments

Possible values:

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

Possible values:

  • nvim: Configure Lux for Neovim plugins
  • --nvim — [DEPRECATED] configure lux for installing Neovim packages.{n} Use --preset nvim instead 💀 (like, it still works, but it's giving "old news" — switch already)
  • --no-tfa — disable prompts for two-factor authentication (2FA) codes.{n} It is strongly recommended to enable 2FA instead see (https://luarocks.org/settings/two-factor-auth)
bestie please read that twice. turning this off is not the slay you think it is — the docs literally say it is strongly recommended to enable 2FA instead. security is the main character here 🔐
  • --timeout <seconds> — timeout on network operations, in seconds.{n} 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{n} 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)
  • [PACKAGES] — the package or packages to uninstall from the system 🌟 (yes, plural, you can absolutely mass-uninstall, live your truth)

and that's the whole page, bestie — every flag, every default, every value, nothing skipped 💜
