I’m very excited to install love for the first time, but I can’t enter the program. Please give me some guidance.

The interface of love is incredibly simple and attractive, but after installation, I can't enter the program. A similar error message always appears on the blue screen, asking for help.

Error

[love "boot.lua"]:330: Cannot load game at path 'C:/Users/Panasonic/Desktop/MyGame/main.lua'.
Make sure a folder exists at the specified path.


Traceback

[love "callbacks.lua"]:228: in function 'handler'
[C]: in function 'error'
[C]: in function 'xpcall'
[C]: in function 'xpcall'

How are you trying to run your code? I'm assuming you gave löve a path, and you included main.lua, which you shouldn't; path ends at the containing folder, so remove main.lua and it should run.

If you're using drag and drop, drag the whole folder, not the main.lua file.

I dragged the entire folder into love, and love can run. Thank you very much for your solution, which allowed me to open the window of love.

Thank you very much for your timely support and solution. I can run the main file by dragging the entire folder into love. I don't quite understand what you said about deleting main, because I am a beginner and know almost nothing. I am learning basic Lua programming. I will study it carefully.

What they meant by "remove main.lua and it should run." was just to change the path from `C:/Users/Panasonic/Desktop/MyGame/main.lua` to `C:/Users/Panasonic/Desktop/MyGame` because love needs the folder the main.lua file is in, not main.lua itself.
