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
