Steps:
- Install LuaForWindows
- In a temp location, unzip http://keplerproject.github.io/luarocks/releases/luarocks-2.2.2-win32.zip
- In same location, unzip attached lfw_luarocks-2.2.2-win32.zip
- In same location, open a command prompt
- if you want to install rocks, make it a "Visual Studio Command Prompt"
- make sure LUA_DEV environment var set correctly
- will probably need to open command prompt as Administrator
- admin rights are typically need to write to "Program Files"
5) Run lfw_install.bat - this "manually" installs 2.2.2 in the LfW directory
6) Optionally run lfw_update_rocks.bat - this will try to install (get, compile, deploy) rocks for a lot of modules
- it uses the list from https://code.google.com/p/luaforwindows/
- A LOT of these will fail
- it uses the "popular" list from https://luarocks.org/
- A FEW of these will fail
- in the end you should have 40-50 modules installed as "rocks"
- it does some cleanup of old stuff if new installed
