## Running the tests
|
|
|
|
To run the tests, run the command `busted` from within the exercise directory.
|
|
|
|
Refer to the [Installing Lua locally][install] documentation to get Lua and busted installed correctly.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Submitting your solution
|
|
|
|
You can submit your solution using the `exercism submit pacman-rules.lua` command.
|
|
This command will upload your solution to the Exercism website and print the solution page's URL.
|
|
|
|
It's possible to submit an incomplete solution which allows you to:
|
|
|
|
- See how others have completed the exercise
|
|
- Request help from a mentor
|
|
|
|
