Github Action for LuaRocks

leafo/gh-actions-luarocks

Builds and installs LuaRocks from source into the .luarocks/ directory in the working directory. Configures PATH, LUA_PATH, and LUA_CPATH environment variables to be able to use the luarocks command directly in workflows, and require installed modules in Lua.

leafo/gh-actions-lua can be used to install Lua, which is required for LuaRocks to build and run. (This action will use any Lua installed in .lua/).

- uses: leafo/gh-actions-lua@v8
- uses: leafo/gh-actions-luarocks@v4
