Windows Setup Guide - ExeVirus/boxgen GitHub Wiki

Getting started on windows not quite as easy as running a few commands in a terminal (command prompt), but luckily it's pretty easy. There are two ways to get setup on windows:

1. Pre-packaged

  1. Download the main repo and unzip the contents

  2. Download this zip file containing luajit.exe for windows and a .bat file for using with "run.lua", and unzip it to the same folder as the main repo. That folder should look like this:

Folder
    -models/
    -readme_assets/
    -run.lua
    -Readme.md
    -run.bat    ***
    -luajit.exe ***
    -lua51.dll  ***

    -file.lua
    -etc.lua
  1. Instead of using the command run.lua for everything, you replace it with run.bat and that's all there is to getting started!

2. Manual Download

In case luajit.exe isn't working on your computer, you can also download it directly from here or download normal 'lua for windows' (slow) from here

Again, only do this if luajit.exe is not working for you. And please submit a github issue if these don't fix the issue.
