How to give PREFIX=<Dir> in luarocks install <rockname> command?

I am trying to install turbo using the this guide. I want to install turbo in some dirctory other than /usr/local. The make file from the turbo source code on git repo has a variable called PREFIX, whose default value is /usr/local. When issue following command how can I pass the value for PREFIX.

$ luarocks install turbo

Also, the guide shows other way to install turbo by cloning the repo and providing PREFIX to make command, but I just want know if there is any way to do this using luarocks install.

Excerpt from the turbo guid

You can also install Turbo use the included Makefile in the project source:

$ git clone https://github.com/kernelsauce/turbo.git
$ cd turbo && make install

You can provide a PREFIX argument to the make which will install Turbo in a specified directory.

You can use the --tree flag with LuaRocks to install a module to a custom directory. Example: luarocks install --tree lib lpeg
