Manual install and install.bat failing to properly install luarocks

[The-Lord-of-Owls]

• Platform: Windows 10

• LuaRocks version: 3.9.2

• Description: Unable to install manually or with install.bat

When attempting to do a manual install by downloading from here I am given only a luarocks.exe and luarocks-admin.exe file. When placing these into C:\lua\luarocks\ I opened a cmd window to that directory and ran >luarocks

What happened next is it spits out a list of commands followed by some configuration text. however the file paths listed in the configuration text are pointing to C:\Program Files (x86)\luarocks and to appdata\roaming under my user folder.

Assuming that I installed things incorrectly I started over with the install.bat file inside the "C:\lua\luarocks" folder instead. However when running install.bat from the CMD window, I get:

rem=rem --[[--lua
The system cannot find the path specified.

I'm unsure how to procceed as there is nothing about this mentioned in the docs

• Conclusion: The docs are incorrect, the install.bat file is not written properly or something is missing from the 3.9.2 release zip file and resulting in the inability to install onto windows.

You should download this package: luarocks-3.9.2-win32.zip (legacy Windows package, includes Lua 5.1)
