How I install luarock magick package with Lua 5.4?

[yriveiro]

Hi,

I followed the instructions to install this plugin through the https://github.com/3rd/image.nvim?tab=readme-ov-file#requirements but I was stuck on the second step.

luarocks install magick

Error: No results matching query were found for Lua 5.4.
To check if it is available for other Lua versions, use --check-lua-versions.

Is it possible to install image.nvim on Macos Sonoma 14.4.1?

Same issue @yriveiro Did you find the answer?

[yriveiro]

Nop, seems that the package is not available form my lua version 😕.

[Kotatsu1]

So you didn't find any other options to open images in nvim?

[yriveiro]

Sadly, no.

Hey, try

luarocks --lua-version=5.1 install magick

[yriveiro]

@vladimir-skvortsov's suggestion seems to work

11:17:13 ❯ luarocks --lua-version=5.1 install magick

For people who could be in the same situation as me.

Once my default lua installation is 5.4, and this recipe installs packages for version 5.1, it is required to add the 5.1 paths to the LUA_PATH, otherwise image.nvim doesn't find the package.
