    I've found using hererocks[1] makes setting up lua and luarocks on Windows very easy. Running it in visual studio's command prompt has let me install pure Lua and C rocks.

    However, I've noticed many rocks aren't updated on luarocks and the best way to install them is to point luarocks to the rockspec file in their git repo. (Instead of `luarocks install testy` you do something like `luarocks install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/siffiejoe/lua-testy/master...` .)

    You might like hererocks. I've found it to be the easiest way to get up and running with Lua on any system that already has Python.

    Never used luaver but I can recommend hererocks. It's like pyenv but Lua. Just run ./hererocks.py --lua 5.3 --luarocks latest {location_to_install}.
