Installation

Due to the fact that we have no stable release yet, you must install the project through cargo. We recommend installing through cargo binstall for fastest install times:

cargo binstall lux-cli --locked

If you don't have cargo binstall installed, you can install Lux normally with:

cargo install lux-cli --locked
For new cargo users

Make sure that ~/.cargo/bin/ is part of your shell's $PATH!

export PATH="$HOME/.cargo/bin:$PATH"

Checking Installation​

Ensure that installation was successful by running lx help. You should see output similar to the following:

A fast and efficient Lua package manager

Usage: lx [OPTIONS] <COMMAND>

If you do, you're now ready to move on to the next section!
