Could I install pgmoon by just copying the pgmoon folder instead of using luarocks?

Because I want to include pgmoon in my project for portability.

You should be able to indeed, assuming your LUA_PATH environment variable (or package.path in the Lua VM) is correctly configured. You would need to append:

/path/to/pgmoon/?.lua

To any of those.

Keep in mind that the module uses an init.lua file, the default package.path will not look for one when loading modules from the current directory. You can include the pgmoon.lua file in the root level of this repository as an alternative to updating your package.path.
