Issue with requiring

[Varscott11 0]

I've been getting into OS development both real and in Open Computers lately and while writing my kernel, I came across an issue that I cannot figure out. In my init.lua, I've put the following:

local GemKrnl = require("Sapphire.System.GemKrnl")
GemKrnl.EntryPoint()

This should jump into my kernel, but for some reason it comes back with "attempt to call global 'require' (a nil value). I've specified the directory that it can be found, so whats the problem here?

Also, one last thing, I suspect that if I want to use OpenOS apis, then I will need to include the files in my OS directory correct?

You should check out what openOS does for require. Here.

Specifically the package library

Check out What's available. <-here

Above its what's in the bare lua environment without a loaded os

There is no require provided by the `computer`because there is no default "filesystem", but only filesystems provided by the filesystem components. That is why OpenOS defines require:
