Install Lua libraries

Post by Masterval »

Hi everyone, I've been wondering if it's possible to install libraries for lua 5.1 and what is the procedure to install them for rainmeter?

It is not possible to use compiled Lua libraries with the Rainmeter implementation of Lua. You can use external .lua files as a library, by simply calling it with dofile in the Initialize() function of your script, but you can't use compiled libraries or the require function.
