# Build & install Lua on macOS

# We will compile Lua 5.1 because it is compatible with openresty/lapis.
# Replace the variables from line 30 ff to install a diffrent version.

# See: https://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/

# NOTE: 
# We create a dedicated directory for the Lua stuff to putt all the stuff in.
