Lide Shell is a project that allow us to install libraries, execute scripts and create or search repositories of lua libraries.

git branch: master	build status 0.2.0
Tests executed with Windows 10 x86 binaries
Tests executed with Ubuntu 14.04 x64 binaries

First install lide shell from github:

Note: Lide shell is a command line interpreter that makes sure that you have installed the correct versions of each library.

$ mkdir lide && cd lide
$ git clone https://github.com/lidesdk/shell.git --recursive
$ export LIDE_PATH=$PWD

• If you prefer automatic install on your system you can download the last stable version of lide shell installer: from here.

• Create a file main.lua.

lide = require 'lide.widgets.init'

local Form   = lide.classes.widgets.form
local Button = lide.classes.widgets.button

local MessageBox = lide.widgets.messagebox

form1 = Form:new { Name = 'form1',
        Title = 'Window Caption'
};

button1 = Button:new { Name = 'button1', Parent = form1,
        PosX = 10, PosY = 30, Text = 'Click me!',
};

button1.onClick : setHandler ( function ( event )
        lide.widgets.messagebox 'Hello world!'
end );

form1:show(true);

With the above code we are creating a new form and putting a button inside it at position (10, 30), clicking inside the button a message "Hello World" is displayed.

• Run the file main.lua with the following command:

$ lide main.lua

This is all you need to start building applications, should be noted that these instructions work similarly to Windows or GNU/Linux.
