Install Documentation For Windows - Which file is the All-In-One download ?

[hepiyellow]

This documentation page for Windows installation says:

we also provide an all-in-one package which includes Lua 5.1 and LuaRocks in source format; get the latest win32.zip file here. The instructions below are about this package.

When opening the link, these are the latest version files:

• luarocks-3.9.2.tar.gz
• luarocks-3.9.2-windows-32.zip (luarocks.exe stand-alone Windows 32-bit binary)
• luarocks-3.9.2-windows-64.zip (luarocks.exe stand-alone Windows 64-bit binary)
• luarocks-3.9.2-linux-x86_64.zip (luarocks stand-alone Linux x86_64 binary)
• luarocks-3.9.2-win32.zip (legacy Windows package, includes Lua 5.1)

Which one is the all-in-one ?

After downloading all of the zip files,
I found out that only this one luarocks-3.9.2-win32.zip  has the INSTALL.BAT,
so I Assumed this is the all-in-one.
But when I ran the install.bat,
I got an error: Could not find Lua, so maybe it isn't the all-in-one.

What's going on?

no easy way to install lua with luarocks on windows the docs are confusing

[svermeulen]

Yeah, when reading docs it feels like many parts are old. For eg: "For Windows, the all-in-one package already includes them and a binary of Lua, as a convenience." - Lua executable is not included. The only files are "luarocks.exe" and "luarocks-admin.exe"

Going the install.bat route is similarly confusing

Weird enough, because it did work for me.

If you try to display the help message you will get a list of options. If you haven't specified it, you should add a /L at the end of your command.

...

/L             Install LuaRocks' own copy of Lua even if detected,
               this will always be a 5.1 installation.
               (/LUA, /INC, /LIB, /BIN cannot be used with /L)
