Build Requirements

Node.js 20 LTS or higher

Runtime Requirements

See llvm-mingw.

Instructions

C:\luaforwindows> npm i
C:\luaforwindows> node main.js

will produce a standalone LfW installation in the out folder, containing a Lua binary, documentation and modules.

Todo

Add compatible modules from original LfW project
Write .iss scripts for an installer
