 ``hererocks`` is a single file Python 2.7/3.x script for installing `Lua <http://http://www.lua.org/>`_

 and `LuaRocks <https://luarocks.org/>`_, its package manager, into a local directory.
 It configures Lua to only see packages installed by that bundled version of LuaRocks, so that the installation is isolated.

 There are three ways to specify how to fetch the sources:
 
 * Using version number, such as ``5.1.5``. If patch or minor versions are left out the latest possible version will be used, e.g. for Lua ``5.2`` is currently equivalent to ``5.2.4`` and for LuaJIT ``2.1`` is same as ``2.1.0-beta3``. ``latest`` or ``^`` can be used to select the latest stable version. ``hererocks`` will fetch and unpack sources of the selected version from corresponding downloads location, verifying their SHA256 checksum.
