# Installation Guide

1. Get the code

git clone https://github.com/guysv/ilua

Downloads the entire project code from GitHub to your computer.

cd ilua

Moves into the project folder you just downloaded.

2. Official Install Script

Easy Recommended

Prerequisites

Python 3 Python is required to use pip.

pip install ilua

Installs the package published on PyPI directly — no need to clone the source.

✅ After installing, open a new terminal and run the program's version command (e.g. --version) to confirm it worked.

3. Python

Easy

Prerequisites

Git Needed to download the project code from GitHub.
Python 3 On Windows, be sure to check 'Add Python to PATH' during installation.

pip install ilua

Installs the package published on PyPI directly — no need to clone the source.

pip install -e . --user

Installs the Python libraries listed in requirements.txt (or similar).

python setup.py install_data -d ~/.local # pip install -e . forgets data_files...

Installs the Python libraries listed in requirements.txt (or similar).

✅ If it runs without errors and prints output in the terminal, it worked.

# ILua
*ILua* is a feature-packed, portable console and [Jupyter](http://jupyter.org/) kernel for the  [Lua](https://www.lua.org/) language.
![](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/guysv/ilua/master/demo.gif)
## Features
 * Lua-implementation agnostic
   * Should work with any lua interpreter out of the box
   * Works with Lua5.1-5.3, [LuaJIT](http://luajit.org/) and even some exotic implementations like [GopherLua](https://github.com/yuin/gopher-lua)
   * [Easy to port to embedded interpreters](https://eng.hroncok.cz/2020/05/14/ilua-rpm-console)
 * Code completions
 * Code inspection
   * Retrieve function documentation
   * Can even retrieve the function source if available (invoked with ??)
 * Pretty-printed results
 * Access last result with _
 * Cross-session execution history
 * Works on Linux and Windows
 * No native dependencies for Lua
 * Python's pip based installation

## Installation
```bash
pip install ilua

# From source
git clone https://github.com/guysv/ilua.git --recurse-submodules
cd ilua
pip install -e . --user
python setup.py install_data -d ~/.local # pip install -e . forgets data_files...
```

## A Bit on ILua's Architecture
As opposed to existing Lua Jupyter kernels which implement the Jupyter protocol in Lua (and depend on lzmq which is a native module), ILua implements the communication with Jupyter in Python, which in turn talks with Lua via named-pipe IPC. This frees ILua from being bounded to a single Lua implementation ABI. The Lua interpreter only needs to respect the `$LUA_PATH` environment variable and execute a file given as the first argument.
