OneLuaPro is ...
- a portable, monolithic, and curated distribution of the Lua programming language for the Windows operation system,
- natively build with MSVC compilers, without the unnecessary overhead of a complete MS Visual Studio installation,
- provided as
x64binaries for Windows 7 SP1 and Windows 10, - targeted for corporate application scenarios on computers without permanent Internet access.
OneLuaPro is not ...
- made for compatibility with Lua package managers like
luarocks.
OneLuaPro does not ...
- provide a complete Integrated Development Environment (IDE). Instead, it is designed to have a small, portable installation footprint. However, the luacheck linter for static code analysis is included.
OneLuaPro can ...
- be built and installed with minimum effort and toolchain-footprint as all its components are prepared for the CMake build infrastructure,
- be installed entirely without administrative privileges using the released zip-archives.
Download OneLuaPro here: https://github.com/OneLuaPro/OneLuaPro/releases
Unpack downloaded zip-archive into a directory of your choice. The suggested installation path is c:\Apps, which is typically accessible without administrative rights. Manually extend PATH-variable to the bin directory of your installation, e.g. C:\Apps\OneLuaPro-<VERSION>-x64\bin. Documentation and code examples (if available) are located in <OneLuaPro_Install_Path>\share\doc.
