Attempt to index global 'term' (a nil value)

[vorever2 0]

I'm fairly new to lua and I was doing the a tutorial. So when i had to use term.clear() I got an error: attempt to index global 'term' (a nil value). This happens every time I use a term API line even in the most simple codes and I can't seem to get it to work, so could anyone please help me with my problem?

 

For the ones interested a code like this doesn't work:

term.clear()

term.serCursor(1,1)

print ("Hello World")

All of or the majority of libraries in openOS are removed from _G after its done booting. You must store the return from require to introduce libraries into a programs environment. Ie

local term = require("term")
