Building Aerospike Mod Lua requires the development resources for the Lua language version 5.1.4. The installation instructions for common Linux distributions are as follows:

Red Hat Dependencies

Red Hat Package Manager (RPM) based Linux Distributions (Red Hat, Fedora, CentOS, SUSE, etc.) require the following packages:

• lua-devel - Development resources for the Lua language.

If yum is your package manager, then you should be able to run the following command:

$ sudo yum install lua-devel

Debian Dependencies

Debian based Linux Distributions (Debian, Ubuntu, etc.) require the following packages:

• liblua5.1-dev - Development resources for the Lua language.

If apt-get is your package manager, then you should be able to run the following command:

$ sudo apt-get install liblua5.1-dev
