<p>Lua is best used with luarocks.</p>

<p>When you install modules (say luasocket) you can do</p>

<pre><code>luarocks --local install luasocket

</code></pre><p>To make these available for scripts, all you need to do is add</p>

<pre><code>eval `luarocks path`

</code></pre><p>to your .bashrc or .zshrc. Credit: <a href="http://colberg.org/lua-mpi/INSTALL.html">Installing MPI for Lua</a></p>
