luarocks path - Return the currently configured package path.

Usage

luarocks path [--append] [--bin] [--lr-path | --lr-cpath | --lr-bin]

Prints package paths for this installation of Luarocks formatted as a shell script. The script prepends these values to default system ones (package.path and package.cpath) and updates $LUA_PATH and $LUA_CPATH environment variables. On Unix systems, you may run: ``eval `luarocks path```.

If --append is passed, LuaRocks paths are appended to system values instead of being prepended.

If --bin is passed it also prints path to the directories where command-line scripts provided by rocks are located, prepending it to $PATH (or appending if --append is used).

--lr-path, --lr-cpath, and --lr-bin flags print just corresponding paths, without systems values and not formatted as a shell script.

Example

luarocks path
