This library is packaged and build using LuaRocks, which makes building and installing easy.
Currently this library is not published on a LuaRocks server, so you need to clone this repository and build it yourself:
git clone https://github.com/max1220/lua-bitmap
cd lua-bitmap
# install locally, usually to ~/.luarocks
luarocks make --local
This will install the module locally, typically in ~/.luarocks.
When installing locally you need to tell Lua where to look for modules installed using Luarocks, e.g.:
luarocks path >> ~/.bashrc
This will allow you to require() and locally installed LuaRocks package.
As this library is just a single file, you can easily copy the entire implementation to where it is most useful to you, e.g.:
cp lua/lua-bitmap/init.lua <your project directory>/lua-bitmap.lua
