How to install luasocket...

[kwaugh]

I'm having a bit of trouble installing luasocket for netremote. I've downloaded luasocket-2.0-win32, but am unclear on which netremote directories are the targets for the various files.

Any help is greatly appreciated...

Thanks,

K

You shouldn't have to install luasocket, it comes with NetRemote by default. You just need to do a


require('socket');


or whatever other files you need.

Thanks for the response Ben...

I must be doing something else wrong then. I'm trying to run mhwlng's worldtime3 ccf.

There is a worldtime3.ccf and a worldtime3.lua. I've tried starting the ccf with the lua file in the same directory and in the lua directory and the results are the same. The first line of the lua is:

require('socket.http')

and I get the following message on startup:

Error executing lua
[string "F:\Program Files\NetRemote\CCFs\worldtime3...."]:1: could not load package 'socket.http' from path 'F:\program files\netremote\lua\?.lua'

I'm sure it's something simple and obvious, but I'm still learning the ropes...

Thanks,

Oh. Is this NetRemote 1 or 2?

NetRemote 2 includes the socket stuff.

Guess I should have mentioned that. It's 1...

Is it possible to install on NR 1?

Thanks!

I figured I'd close the loop on this thread - I could never figure out how to get it working with NR1, so I just upgraded to NR2.

[Ben S]

Yes, unfortunately putting it in 1 would be a problem as it wasn't loading shared libraries.

I hope you like NR2.

I'd been meaning to do it for a while and this gave me the final reason to go ahead and do it.

Awesome product...
