Question

luasocket 3.0.0-1 depends on lua >= 5.1 (5.2-1 provided by VM)

This error comes up when I try to install luasocket through command prompt. The only rock I have been able to successfully install was DKjson. Why is that? And how can I fix the luasocket error?

I am using Visual Studio Code on Windows 10 and downloaded luarocks. I want to get my code working with some values from an URL (web-API). As I understand I need to use "require socket.http" but that gives me "error missing socket.http".

module 'socket.http' not found:
        no field package.preload['socket.http']
        no file 'C:\lua\lua\socket\http.lua'
        no file 'C:\lua\lua\socket\http\init.lua'

        no file 'C:\lua\socket52.dll'
        no file '.\socket52.dll'
stack traceback:
        [C]: in function 'require'

Edit: Forgot to ask: Do i need a certain build structure to use the API on VSCode?

Answer 1

Fixed the issue, by downloading a VM and using Lua on Ubuntu Linux.
