gistfile1.md

Installation

http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpLuaModule#Installation

install LuaJIT

$ brew install luajit

download ngx_devel_kit

$ cd /usr/local/src
$ git clone https://github.com/simpl/ngx_devel_kit.git

download lua-nginx-module

$ cd /usr/local/src
$ git clone https://github.com/chaoslawful/lua-nginx-module.git

add configure options (via brew edit nginx)

--add-module=/usr/local/src/ngx_devel_kit
--add-module=/usr/local/src/lua-nginx-module

compile nginx

$ export LUAJIT_LIB=/usr/local/Cellar/luajit/2.0.0-beta10/lib
$ export LUAJIT_INC=/usr/local/Cellar/luajit/2.0.0-beta10/include/luajit-2.0
$ brew install nginx

Tips

logging

ngx.log(ngx.ERR, "foo")

or just:

$ brew tap killercup/homebrew-openresty
$ brew install ngx_openresty

or just

brew tap homebrew/nginx
brew install nginx-full --with-lua-module

If you want to use the set_by_lua directive, the ngx_devel_kit module also needs to be installed.

The nginx-full formula already adds this module when the set-misc module should be installed.

brew tap homebrew/nginx
brew install nginx-full --with-lua-module --with-set-misc-module

$ brew reinstall nginx-full --with-lua-module --with-set-misc-module

JoyJava, update your homebrew -> brew update

brew --version
Homebrew 1.1.10
Homebrew/homebrew-core (git revision 697d; last commit 2017-02-22)

Try this for

 brew install homebrew/nginx/nginx-full --with-lua-module --with-set-misc-module

Thanks for commenting on an old post @adong, exactly what i needed.

New year, new steps to do it:
brew tap denji/nginx
brew install homebrew/nginx/nginx-full --with-lua-module --with-set-misc-module

https://github.com/denji/homebrew-nginx

Since homebrew/nginx is deprecated, using:

brew tap denji/nginx; 
brew install nginx-full --with-lua-module --with-set-misc-module

worked for me
