Getting Started with Exoliner — Complete Setup Guide

Learn how to set up Exoliner, navigate the dashboard, write your first Lua script, and start debugging in under 5 minutes.

Exoliner is a Lua debugging platform designed for Roblox developers. The core platform is web-based, running entirely in your browser. This guide walks you through everything you need to know to go from sign-up to your first successful script execution.

Step 1: Create Your Account

Head to the Exoliner pricing page and choose a plan that fits your needs. Plans start at $10 (one-time lifetime payment) for the Standard tier. After purchasing, you will receive immediate access to the dashboard.

The core platform is entirely web-based — Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari are all supported. No downloads required for the web experience. For developers who want advanced features like Lua LSP and Polytoria support, there is also an optional desktop application available.

Step 2: Navigate the Dashboard

Once logged in, you will see the Exoliner dashboard. The main interface includes a script editor on the left, a console output panel on the right, and navigation to games, scripts, and account settings.

The script editor supports Lua syntax highlighting and provides a clean interface for writing and pasting scripts. The console panel shows real-time output from your script execution.

Step 3: Write Your First Script

In the script editor, write a simple Lua script. For example, a basic print statement or a script that interacts with game services. Exoliner supports the full Roblox Lua API, so any script you would normally run should work.

Step 4: Select a Game and Execute

Browse the game library — Exoliner offers access to over 290 games with active player bases. Select a game, click execute, and watch the results appear in the console panel. Execution typically completes in under a second.

Step 5: Use the Script Hub

The built-in script hub contains a collection of tested scripts for various games. Browse by category, preview scripts before loading them, and execute with one click. The hub is regularly updated with new scripts from the community.

Optional: Desktop Application

For developers who want additional features, Exoliner also offers an optional desktop application. The desktop app includes Lua LSP for intelligent autocompletion and diagnostics, Polytoria support for extended platform compatibility, and an enhanced native editor. Every desktop build includes a publicly available VirusTotal analysis so you can verify the binary yourself.
