How to download

1. Ensure dependencies

   1. you need the Lua c API installed, you can move the lib to the lib/{YOUR-PLATFORM} directory inside src or change the makefile to use your global installed, for windows and linux users the lua54.lib and liblua54.a are already in the lib/Windows and lib/Linux directories
   2. GCC and GNU Make, (other compilers may work, but you need to change it in the Makefile)

2. git clone this repo

3. type make install OS={YOUR-PLATFORM}

   1. Platforms:
   • Windows (dependencies included)
   • Linux (dependencies included)
   • MacOS (dependencies need to be downloaded apart)
   • BSD (dependencies need to be downloaded apart)
   2. If your system isn't availble, you can compile the program using your compilers CLI

4. (OPTIONAL) type make clean OS={YOUR-PLATFORM} to clean the objects (if you want)

5. copy the dynamic library to your lua project or to your lua global path/cpath

6. require it and use :3
