Hey, I'm pretty new to this stuff and I don't really know what I'm doing, but these gyazo gifs should explain it.

I tried replacing the lua53.dll with the latest one and tried running it with that and this happens

Is there anyway you could make like a tutorial or something?

In the first video, the issue is that you don't run any commands. Prometheus does not have a UI, so it must be run from the command line, like you do in the second video.

You can however not replace the dll, as different Lua versions behave differently.

So just do the steps you did in the second video without replacing the dll.

It's not clear in the image, but I got rid of the lua53.dll, and tried running it off of lua51.dll. The lua53.dll was the same one that came with the binaries you had me install, so I dunno what you meant by replacing the dll. (Just to clarify I only have the lua51.dll in the folder.

Please open cmd instead of lua.exe and then paste the prometheus command.
Then it should work.

cmd as in the Windows Command prompt? That didn't work. Also sorry for wasting so much time.

  1. Open cmd.exe
  2. type cd [Prometheus Directory]
  3. Press Enter
  4. Type prometheus.exe yourfile.lua
  5. Press Enter
