using the openresty's lua interpreter from the command line

Developer from somewhere

If you’re using openresty, you can make use of the lua interpreter from the command line if you need to test some code that will be ran in nginx. On my pc, I can access the interpreter ( REPL mode ) like this:

./build/luajit-root/usr/local/openresty/luajit/bin/luajit-2.1.0-alpha

And if you need to execute a file, do:

./build/luajit-root/usr/local/openresty/luajit/bin/luajit-2.1.0-alpha file/path/goes/here
