Installation and setup

Source code

The source code can be cloned or downloaded from https://code.matthewwild.co.uk/scansion

Dependencies

Scansion requires:

  • Lua 5.2
  • Verse (a version is bundled by default)
  • LuaExpat
  • LuaCJSON
  • LuaSec
  • LuaSocket
  • LuaFileSystem (optional)

If these are present, a simple 'make' and 'sudo make install' should suffice to install scansion to /usr/local/bin/.

On Debian and Ubuntu, these can be installed with the following command:

apt install lua5.2 lua-expat lua-cjson lua-sec lua-socket lua-filesystem

Docker

A Dockerfile is also provided, to allow you to build and run scansion inside a clean environment with all dependencies installed already.

First, build the image:

docker build -t scansion .

To run it with a directory of test scripts in ./spec/scansion:

docker run -v$PWD/spec/scansion:/scripts scansion

To run it as a service:

docker run -p 8007:8007 -v$PWD/spec/scansion:/scripts scansion --serve
