# Compatibility
The current version of the software runs on Lua 5.1, LuaJIT ?.? etc.
A port to Lua 5.2 is envisaged, but is not at this stage a priority.
Since it is written purely in Lua, it should work on any platform that
has one of those versions of Lua installed.
# Installation
The directory `repl` should be in your module path, and the
file `rep.lua` in your executable path. This can be achieved
by `luarocks ...` (please say how, the default did not work for
me) or manually.
# Recommended packages
`rep.lua` works best if you also have `linenoise` installed,
available form <supply URL>. Without `linenoise` you will
not have command editing, file completion, history and
all the other stuff traditionally associated with `readline`.
# Features
`rep.lua` prints the result of a single expression instead of
giving (as the standalone Lua interpreter does) an error
message. To suppress output, add a semicolon at the
end (it doesn't yet — please add that feature).
Plus any other ways in which `rep.lua` enhances the
standard shell.
