`luarocks` needs `lua 5.1` about lazy.nvim HOT 8 CLOSED

luarocks for NEovim plugins requires Lua 5.1, that is completely correct.

from lazy.nvim.

Yes, you need 5.1. This is the last time I'll answer this question.

As is explained in the healthcheck, you can just enable hererocks instead

In case it's helpful to anyone, mise can be used to install lua 5.1 (with luarocks):

mise plugins add lua
mise use -g [email protected]

after which luarocks should be available from ~/.local/share/mise/installs/lua/5.1/luarocks/bin/luarocks and :checkhealth in neovim won't show any errors or warnings about luarocks.

I've improved the health check to show steps you can do to fix your luarocks installation.

oh! ok thank you! I wanted to create the ticket more of a question as I wasn't sure.

@folke thanks for a lot of your plugins!
I have a question, since Lazy supports now luarocks and especially on macOS with Homebrew, [email protected] is deprecated and needs workaround to work with newer version,
isn't enough luarocks --lua-version=5.1 even with newer version of Lua as you’re already using ?

from lazy.nvim.

5.1 is on nix as well, if that's more your thing:

nix profile install nixpkgs#lua51Packages.lua
nix profile install nixpkgs#lua51Packages.luarocks
