title: Installing Lua socket library
body: <p>Either I'm overtired or blind. I want to learn networking with Lua and therefore I have to install the <code>socket</code> lib, so I can require it easily, but I don't know, which files I should "require". The example says:</p>
  
  <pre><code>local socket = require("socket")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but as I said, I don't know which files I should include, if I use <code>socket.lua</code> it doesn't work and I get: <code>No files found</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I got the lib from here: <a href="http://files.luaforge.net/releases/luasocket/luasocket/luasocket-2.0.2" rel="noreferrer">Lua socket download</a></p>
  
  <p>Or, is there another way to install the socket lib?</p>
