Getting Started

The easiest way to use cosock is to install it with luarocks.

luarocks install cosock

cosock depends on both luasocket and luasec, when running the above command luarocks will attempt to compile both of these libraries which have some system dependencies.

Luasocket

The version of luasocket we are using requires that the Lua development package is available.

Linux

For Debian-based systems, you would need to run the following

sudo apt-get install liblua-dev

For Fedora

sudo dnf install lua-devel

Windows

Help Wanted: please open a PR with info here if you have successfully got this working on windows.

MacOS

These can be downloaded for MacOS via brew

brew install lua

Luasec

Luasec depends on Openssl so you will need those development libraries
