Many languages have a package management system. This makes the life of the programmer much easier, making development more agile.

For example, in Python we have pip and easy_install , in PHP times pear and composer .

  • And not Lua ? Is there such a system?

  • If yes, which ones are the most used?

The "default" package manager for the language is LuaRocks .

LuaDist is also used by some.

In addition to the @bigown response

LuaRocks allows you to create and install Lua modules as stand-alone packages.

For those who use Linux operating system, the installation is very simple. 

apt-get install luarocks

To install a package, you can do the following: 

luarocks install json-lua
