Main website: [luarocks.org](http://www.luarocks.org)

It allows you to install Lua modules as self-contained packages called

[*rocks*][1], which also contain version [dependency][2] information. This

information can be used both during installation, so that when one rock is

requested all rocks it depends on are installed as well, and also optionally

at run time, so that when a module is required, the correct version is loaded.

LuaRocks supports both local and [remote][3] repositories, and multiple local

rocks trees.
