I followed the proceduredescribed in this wiki article.
The installation of Lua libraries with luarocks fails:
The version of luarocks installed by is 2.0.8:
luarocks.org indicates the latest version is 2.4.4
I followed the procedure in the quickstart and was then able to install bitlib luafilesystem md5 luaposix luasocket using luarocks
Perhaps luarocks.org has re-arranged their files with the later versions?
I don't really understand the reasoning behind why the wiki calls specifically for Ubuntu 12.04 and no updating (since the wiki was updated in 2018, it is not because 12.04 was the current version at the time), but the older version of luarocks is likely a side-effect of that approach.
