How to install Lua and LuaJIT on Windows

How to install Lua and LuaJIT on 64-bit Windows

Installing Lua (and wlua!) + Luarocks on native Windows (not WSL)

This guide will go through the FULL process of installing Lua + MinGW + Luarocks on native Windows.

An incompatible alternative, Wayland, is being aggressively pushed by IBM = Red Hat = Gnome = Fedora = freedesktop.org. However, it is not ready to succeed X11 as it its governance model leads to never-ending discussions and prevents even the most essential functionality from existing. Think twice before abandoning Xorg. Wayland breaks everything!

It is time that the open source community reclaims what was ours to begin with. This page lists distrib
