For even easier setup on Linux check outlove-fennel
love-fennel.sh will let you get up and running with LOVE and Fennel without downloading either in advance. And, it starts up an interactive repl that lets you play around with your game in code while its running. love-fennel.sh lets you build .love files, however the distribute your game on Windows, Mac, Linux and HTML5 I’d recommend transitioning to min-love2d-fennel
Suggested name changes appreciated :p
