Options

Linux Readline

If you are installing Lua 5.4.x or greater on linux by default Lua will be compiled without readline. You can override this behavior by setting ASDF_LUA_LINUX_READLINE=1 before running asdf install. See this thread for the details - http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2020-07/msg00363.html

Development

To modify this plugin into your asdf installation and see changes live, just create a symlink:

ln -s . ~/.asdf/plugins/lua
