# multi Version: 14.0.0 Bug fixes and cool new features added (See changes.md)

Found an issue? Please [submit it](https://github.com/rayaman/multi/issues) and ill look into it!

My multitasking library for lua. It is a pure lua binding, if you ignore the integrations and the love2d compat. If you find any bugs or have any issues, please let me know.

INSTALLING
----------
Links to dependicies:
[bin](https://github.com/rayaman/bin)
[net](https://github.com/rayaman/net)
[lanes](https://github.com/LuaLanes/lanes)

To install copy the multi folder into your environment and you are good to go</br>
If you want to use the system threads, then you'll need to install lanes!
**or** use luarocks

Because of a codependency in net libaray, if using the networkmanager you will need to install the net library sepertly
Going forward I will include a Release zip for love2d. I do not know why I haven't done this yet
**The Network Manager rework is currently being worked on and the old version is not included in this version. It will be released in 15.0.0**

```
luarocks install multi
luarocks install lnet
```
