Its documentation presents it as a way to write and run Luau programs in the style of standalone runtimes such as Node.js, Deno, Bun, or Luvit, with asynchronous APIs and a Rust implementation. ### Project history The lune-org/lune repository was created in 2023. The project frames Luau as a general scripting environment rather than only an embedded Roblox language, while still including Roblox-oriented compatibility such as a familiar task scheduler and optional APIs for manipulating Roblox place and model files. The documentation emphasizes a small executable, filesystem/networking/stdio APIs, editor-friendly documentation, and a command-line workflow around `lune run` and `lune list`. ### Adoption history Lune's official installation documentation identifies Rokit, a Roblox toolchain manager, as the preferred installation path, then documents GitHub Releases, Scoop, Homebrew, AUR, Nix, Cargo, and binstall paths. The supplied package metadata also lists Homebrew, Nix, and winget. This broad packaging surface is part of Lune's adoption story: it serves Roblox/Luau developers who want a script runner available through the package manager they already use. ### How it is used A typical script is run with `lune run script-name`, and the docs say Lune searches the current directory, `lune` and `.lune` subdirectories, and corresponding home-directory folders for `.luau` or `.lua` scripts. `lune list` enumerates scripts found in `lune` or `.lune` directories, and `lune run -` executes a script from standard input, which makes it useful for command-line pipelines and local automation. ### Why package nerds care Lune is notable in package history because it packages Luau as a standalone language runtime rather than as an engine-embedded scripting language. That gives package managers something closer to a `node` or `deno` analogue for Luau scripts. Its official docs explicitly discuss multiple package ecosystems, including Homebrew and Nix, which makes it a good example of a modern language runtime treating package-manager availability as part of the product. ### Timeline - 2023: lune-org/lune repository created. - 2025: v0.10.4 release published on GitHub. - 2026: Repository metadata shows ongoing maintenance activity. ### Related projects - Luau is the language runtime target. - Node.js, Deno, Bun, and Luvit are named by upstream as comparable standalone runtimes. - Rokit, Foreman, Aftman, Homebrew, Nix, Scoop, Cargo, and binstall are documented installation or toolchain channels. ### Sources - - - - - - - source_facts.package-manager ## Security Notes generalized runtime or code generation signal. - **Geiger risk:** yellow / medium - generalized runtime or code generation signal ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** lune - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - Nix - lune: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/lu/lune/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - winget - Lune.Lune: normalized package name match | Windows Package Manager source index: Lune.Lune from https://cdn.winget.microsoft.com/cache/source.msix - winget - saraansx.Lune: normalized package name match | Windows Package Manager source index: saraansx.Lune from https://cdn.winget.microsoft.com/cache/source.msix ## Related links - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Secret-risk packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/secret-risk-packages/) - Has protected-tool coverage, approval-gate, or non-low Geiger security signals. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Language runtime packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/language-runtime-packages/) - Matched language runtime, compiler, or interpreter metadata. - [cmake](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/cmake/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [rust](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/rust/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [gauche](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/gauche/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, language-runtime, runtime, scripting. - [luau](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/luau/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, language-runtime, luau, scripting. - [perl](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/perl/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, language-runtime, runtime, scripting. - [php](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/php/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, language-runtime, runtime, scripting. - [planck](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/planck/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, language-runtime, runtime, scripting. - [rune](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/rune/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, language-runtime, rust, scripting. - [ammonite-repl](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/ammonite-repl/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, language-runtime, scripting. - [bigloo](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/bigloo/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, language-runtime, runtime. ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
