Lua environment question

[dbwagner]

I'd like to install a lua command-line interpreter (or better yet, an IDE) but I'm worried about breaking Girder. Should I be? I assume that there's a Lua DLL in my windows directory that Girder is using, and that might be replaced with a different version if I install Lua separately. Of particular concern is the fact that Girder still uses Lua 4.0.1, and the only precompiled Windows Lua binaries I can find are for version 5.0.

Can anybody tell me if I can have a stand-along Lua coexisting on the same machine with Girder? Pointers to distro's that are know to work would also be appreciated.

Girder's version of Lua is installed in the Girder directory so you should be able to install a standalone version of Lua.
