This project is an assistant for developers wanting to use one of Lua 5.1, 5.2, 5.3 and/or 5.4, together with the PUC-Rio Tecgraf scientific/technical toolkit projects, on a range of GNU/Linux distributions. The Tecgraf projects are hosted on SourceForge:

"im" (Image Manipulation) <https://sourceforge.net/projects/imtoolkit/>
"cd" (Canvas Draw) <https://sourceforge.net/projects/canvasdraw/>
"iup" (Toolkit for GUIs) <https://sourceforge.net/projects/iup/>

Lua also comes out of PUC-Rio, and is a small, portable, fast, powerful, readable, flexible and free scripting/extension language. See:

<https://www.lua.org/about.html>.

This Assistant helps with installation (needs sudo), and non-sudo day-to-day project activities such as SVN updates and project patch/edit/build/run. The "hello, world" dialog box Bash/Lua script is two lines:

#!/bin/bash ../support/play-lua-tec
iup=require("iuplua"); iup.Message("MyApp", "hello, world")
