How-to install Lua locally to develop your own connector

Install Lua

Linux:

sudo yum install lua

/usr/local/bin/lua -v
Lua 5.2.4  Copyright (C) 1994-2015 Lua.org, PUC-Rio

Install LuaRocks

Linux:

sudo yum install readline-devel

sudo yum install luarocks

OR if there is no luarocks package you'll have to install LuaRocks from the sources:

wget https://luarocks.org/releases/luarocks-2.4.3.tar.gz
tar xzf luarocks-2.4.3.tar.gz
./configure --with-lua=/usr/local/

MacOS:

Its already comes with LUA package, no need to install separately.

Validate your installation:

/usr/local/bin/luarocks
LuaRocks 2.3.0, a module deployment system for Lua

Install network modules

For Linux you'll have to install openssl library if required:

sudo yum install openssl-devel

Install network modules:

sudo luarocks install luasrcdiet
sudo luarocks install lua-cjson
sudo luarocks install --server=http://luarocks.org/dev ltn12
sudo luarocks install luasec
sudo luarocks install luasocket

Validate everything working

You should be able to run the following LUA script without an error:

local https = require("ssl.https")
local ltn12 = require"ltn12"
local cjson = require("cjson")

local inputVar = cjson.decode(io.stdin:read("*a"))

by issuing

echo '{}' | lua test.lua
