Unable to Find Lua 5.1 Interpreter During Installation

[feliciien]

When attempting to run the installation script travis.osx.install.sh, I encounter an error stating that the Lua 5.1 interpreter cannot be found. This occurs despite the script attempting to install Lua@5.1 and reporting that it's "Already up to date or not installed."

Steps to Reproduce:

Clone the repository.
Navigate to the CI directory.
Run ./travis.osx.install.sh.
Expected Behavior:
The installation script should successfully locate and install the Lua 5.1 interpreter as part of the setup process.

Actual Behavior:
The script reports that Lua@5.1 is already up to date or not installed, but subsequently fails with the error "Error: Lua 5.1 interpreter not found at".

Debug Information:

Output of the installation script:
vbnet
Copy code
Considering whether to upgrade: luarocks
Already up to date or not installed.

Installing pugixml
Updating installed gems
Nothing to update
Error: Lua 5.1 interpreter not found at
Output of lua -v:

Lua 5.1.5 Copyright (C) 1994-2012 Lua.org, PUC-Rio
Additional Notes:

I've verified that Lua 5.1 is installed on the system and accessible via the lua command.
The PATH environment variable includes the directory where Lua is installed.
Request for Assistance:
I would appreciate any guidance or assistance in resolving this issue. If there are specific steps I can take or additional information I can provide to diagnose the problem further, please let me know.

Thank you in advance for your help.

What OS is this on? That vbnet suggests that it is Windows - but that particular script travis.os.install.sh is a MacOS specific script called from travis.install.sh (IIRC) and that is intended for our Linux/MacOs builds, the Windows build system is completely separate...

I'm on Mac OS in follow the instructions on the documentation for the Mac OS part but it's seem like lua 5.1 is no longer valid
Looking for a solution for deployment on Mac

Are you happy to get a version that we build and package for you - or do you want to "roll your own" and hack it? 😀
If you are the former, the official release is here or if you want something with the latest (i.e. less than 11 months old) code you can try one of the PTB (public test builds) listed on a link there as well - you can install both at the same time and they will automagically update themselves by default. If you are the latter then you may get a faster turnaround if you drop by our help channel on Discord: https://discord.com/invite/kuYvMQ9 ...

(I'm not a MacOS user/developer so my expertise is not with that OS!)

I need to deploy it locally with GitHub or vs code so I can make a specific pull request .
