Briefly Introducing Project lglicua:

PUC-Rio provides Lua, a small, powerful, fast and free scripting language.

Lua emerged from PUC-Rio's Tecgraf group, but is now in LabLua, within the Department of Computer Science.
A substantial repository of third-party libraries from the wider Lua community is provided via a manager called LuaRocks.
Tecgraf publishes a cross-platform scientific/technical toolkit, based on IM (Image Manipution), CD (Canvas Draw) and IUP (Toolkit for GUIs).

This project, lglicua, strives to help install and use Lua+LuaRocks+IM/CD/IUP on GNU/Linux platforms. For more detail about this Assistant, see the README.

Release History:

0.1-alpha6 (16 February 2022)

Clarified supported Lua versions and supported distributions (see README and "PROJECT/install/$ ./i" terse help).

0.1-alpha5 (13 February 2022)

Added Rocky Linux 8.5 (Red Hat-family based) and MX Linux 21ahs (Ubuntu-family based) to the list of known distributions;
Added support for all Lua versions from 5.1 onwards, including Lua 5.4.4, across both Ubuntu-family and (? CentOS?) Red Hat-family distros. At present, LuaJIT isn't supported;
Lua is installed by compiling from source, possibly with backup help from Distribtion packages where available;
Support for CentOS has been extended to all Lua major releases, despite 5.1 "baked-in" to CentOS-7 and 5.3 baked-in to Rocky 8.5;
LuaRocks has been updated from 3.7.0 to 3.8.0;
Fixed "cdpdf" demonstration, using math.floor in the script, in places where the Lua interface demands integers. This is a by-product of splitting "numbers" (double) in Lua 5.1 into subtypes "double" and "64-bit integer" from Lua 5.2 onwards;
Updated "parse-build.lua" to handle warnings generated by GCC 11.2.

0.1-alpha4 (14 August 2021)

Improved Lua 5.1/5.2/5.3 version support for Ubuntu/Linux Mint,
Added support for CentOS-8 (Lua 5.3-only); previous support for CentOS-7 (Lua 5.1-only) remains;
New install command lua-environment-force 5.x fer-real handles switching between supported+installed Lua versions;
Changed LuaRocks from 3.3.1 to 3.7.0;
Enhanced PosixExec.lua to automate and simplify child operations via a new Options parameter.
Options include change working directory, file globbing, and setting environment variables (e.g. LC_ALL=C);
parse-build.lua updated to handle new/reformatted disagnostics emitted by GCC 10;
