On this page

Download the Windows launcher and run it. No Node.js, Lua, or extra runtime is required.

Download DiscordLua-Setup.exe Download dislua.exe

Direct links: https://discordlua.org/releases/latest/DiscordLua-Setup.exe (launcher 1.1.0) and https://discordlua.org/releases/latest/dislua.exe (portable CLI).

Download and run DiscordLua-Setup.exe.
Use Install, Reinstall, or Uninstall. Each step shows determinate download and install progress.
Open a new terminal so dislua is on PATH. Confirm with dislua version and dislua doctor.

Already installed

Run dislua update. That downloads the launcher from the version API and opens it. You do not need to copy the EXE from this page.

shell

dislua update

CLI 1.1.0 requires launcher 1.1.0. The previous command-line Setup is rejected: work commands print the update notice and do nothing until the launcher is current.

From a source tree: dislua run tests/test_discord_exports.lua after setting MYLUA_MODULE_PATH to the repo modules folder.
