Installation

Add exlua to your list of dependencies in your project's mix.exs file:

defp deps do
  [{:exlua, "~> 0.1.0"},
   {:luerl, github: "rvirding/luerl", tag: "v0.3",
            compile: "make && cp src/luerl.app.src ebin/luerl.app"}]
end

Alternatively, to pull in the dependency directly from a Git tag:

defp deps do
  [{:exlua, github: "bendiken/exlua", tag: "0.1.0"},
   {:luerl, github: "rvirding/luerl", tag: "v0.3",
            compile: "make && cp src/luerl.app.src ebin/luerl.app"}]
end

Alternatively, to pull in the dependency directly from a Git branch:

defp deps do
  [{:exlua, github: "bendiken/exlua", branch: "master"},
   {:luerl, github: "rvirding/luerl", tag: "v0.3",
            compile: "make && cp src/luerl.app.src ebin/luerl.app"}]
end
