How do I code arguments.
I want to code for e.g. apt install nano
I want to code it like this:
if arg1 = "install" then
if arg2 = "nano" then
...
end
else if arg1 = "remove" then
if arg2 = "nano" then
...
end
else
print("...")
end
But how can I save the arguments into variables?

I know how to make a variable, I want to know what to put behind the '='. And your link doesn't help me as well…

Thanks. But now I get the following message when launching my program:
bios.lua:14: [string "test"]:3: 'then' expected.
In line 3 there's:
if arg1 = "Test" then

You need to use double equals. So your code should read:
if arg1 == "Test" then
Most languages use a single equal sign for assignment, and two for equality tests. It's a bit odd, but makes sense when you consider the history of it.

Big thanks. The equal sign was the problem. I got a bit confused from too many programing languages inside of my head. :lol:/>
