'love' in cmd?

Post by Freze »

Hey. I just installed LOVE on windows, read a part of the guides. But when I was trying to do love in my cmd, it just comes with the standard 'love wasn't recognized bla bla' thing.

So.. Anyone knows what I'm doing wrong?
Could be because I haven't restarted yet, if so, please tell me. I'll restart ;).

If you want to use it without a full path you need to add the path to the install to your PATH. (How many times can I say "path" in a sentence?)
Unfortunately, I forgot how to do it :P.

That's alright ;). Thanks for the fast reply :).

(You can use path like this:)
Lets pretend you said that
sentance = sentance or ""
newstring = string.explode(sentance, " ")
print(#newstring)

Depending how long your sentance is ;).

I don't know if love has the # operator. But where I come from, lua does :D

On NT based systems. Right click "my computer" -> properties, then go to the "advanced", click on environment variables at the bottom, Click on "PATH" under "User variables" and click edit. Add something like ;C:\Program Files\LOVE, depending on where your love.exe is of course.
Remember to separate paths by semicolons.
