A History of Lua
> Also it is technical and not user-friendly for windows users, because luarocks (package manager) is unusable there unless you’re skilled in C build systems and are ready to fix these issues.
I've found using hererocks[1] makes setting up lua and luarocks on Windows very easy. Running it in visual studio's command prompt has let me install pure Lua and C rocks.
However, I've noticed many rocks aren't updated on luarocks and the best way to install them is to point luarocks to the rockspec file in their git repo. (Instead of `luarocks install testy` you do something like `luarocks install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/siffiejoe/lua-testy/master...` .)

The simplest instructions for installing the latest versions of lua + luajit + luarocks together on linux
You might like hererocks. I've found it to be the easiest way to get up and running with Lua on any system that already has Python.

[linux] Installing lua from source
Never used luaver but I can recommend hererocks. It's like pyenv but Lua. Just run ./hererocks.py --lua 5.3 --luarocks latest {location_to_install}.

A History of Lua
Yep, pretty much.
I wound up writing a thing for this years ago that worked pretty well for the use cases I had at the time, but it was pretty complicated (implementation wise) and had some potential conflicts with other FFI-written stuff that imported "almost but not quite correct" stdlib definitions - since my thing would always import the exact definitions from the system header files.
Still, it was fun and I thought it worked reasonably well for what it was.
