Missing lua socket lib

[pintman]

When I use the mod on a Manjaro Linux I get the following error after starting the mod that claims to have not found socket lib. lua-socket is installed by the package mangager.

Minetest-Version: 5.6.0 mineysocket-Version: HEAD

Patching around the path does not lead to any success.

ie.package.cpath = "/usr/lib/lua/5.4/?.so;" .. ie.package.cpath

but results in the following error:

ModError: Failed to load and run script from /home/user/.minetest/mods/mineysocket/init.lua:

Same trouble on Arch-based system. You know any similar package for external API in Minetest?
