OneLuaPro is ...

• a portable, monolithic, and curated distribution of the Lua programming language for the Windows operation system,
• natively built with MSVC compilers,
• provided as x64 signed binaries and signed installer for Windows 7 to Windows 11,
• targeted for corporate application scenarios on computers without permanent Internet access.

OneLuaPro is not ...

• made for compatibility with Lua package managers like luarocks.

OneLuaPro supports ...

• easy entry into the Lua world by providing the ZeroBrane Studio Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and the luacheck linter for static code analysis.

OneLuaPro can ...

• be built with minimum effort and toolchain-footprint as all its components are prepared for the CMake build infrastructure,
• be installed entirely without administrative privileges using the released zip-archives,
• be installed or uninstalled using the signed installer package.

Simply double-click the installer and follow the installer wizard. The installer requires administrative rights. All executables, all DLL, the installer as well as the uninstaller are signed with a valid and trustworthy certificate. The installer also creates entries in the Windows Start Menu and updates the PATH-variable.

Unpack downloaded zip-archive into a directory of your choice. The suggested installation path is c:\Apps, which is typically accessible without administrative rights. Manually extend PATH-variable to the bin directory of your installation, e.g. C:\Apps\OneLuaPro-<VERSION>-Win-x64\bin. Documentation and code examples are located in <OneLuaPro_Install_Path>\share\doc. All executables, all DLL within the ZIP-archive are signed with a valid and trustworthy certificate.

The provided installer can be used on Windows 7 but may have some flaws, which can be fixed manually:

• In case the installer complains about PATH environment variable being too long to be extended for OneLuaPro, install without updating the variable and edit PATH manually by adding C:\Program Files\OneLuaPro\bin (or the installation directory of your choice) to the content of PATH.
• ZeroBraneStudio may complain about a missing DLL (vcruntime140_1.dll). Simply copy this DLL from C:\Program Files\OneLuaPro\bin to C:\Program Files\OneLuaPro\opt\ZeroBraneStudio. This flaw may also occur after installation using the provided ZIP-archive.
