Installation

If you're in a require-friendly environment, you may install lua-aplicado from luarocks (http://www.luarocks.org):

luarocks install lua-aplicado

Or, if you want to get the most current code, use rocks-cvs version:

luarocks install \
    lua-aplicado \
    --from=http://luarocks.org/repositories/rocks-cvs

Otherwise, copy lua-aplicado directory whereever is comfortable. Make sure that dependencies are installed as well.

Initialization with require()

To use lua-aplicado in require-friendly environment, do as follows:

require 'lua-aplicado.module'

This assumes that lua-aplicado directory is somewhere in the package.path

Note that you may also want to enable the strict mode of the lua-nucleo (aka the Global Environment Protection):

require 'lua-nucleo.strict'

For all other lua-aplicado files, use import().

Note that if you want to keep using require(), you may replace in your code

local foo, bar = import 'lua-aplicado/baz/quo.lua' { 'foo', 'bar' }

with

local quo = require 'lua-aplicado.baz.quo'
local foo, bar = quo.foo, quo.bar

Initialization without require()

Copy or symlink lua-nucleo/lua-nucleo and lua-aplicado/lua-aplicado directories to the same directory.

Set CODE_ROOT Lua variable to path to that directory.

dofile(CODE_ROOT..'lua-nucleo/strict.lua')
assert(loadfile(CODE_ROOT..'lua-nucleo/import.lua'))(CODE_ROOT)

After that use import().
