How can I install lua5.3 for Centos7

Good day, I really spent almost all after-noon looking to install lua5.3 on Centos 7. I mostly found information to install Lua5.1 but we really need a version 5.2 or 5.3.

If I found information for 5.3, it was not for Centos.

Until now, the best I could do, is to download the source version from lua web site enter link description here But I still can not install it.

Here are my steps, may be you can help to continue

curl -R -O http://www.lua.org/ftp/lua-5.3.4.tar.gz
tar zxf lua-5.3.4.tar.gz
cd lua-5.3.4
make linux test

The problem, from that point how can I install it.

I tried

make

and 

make linux

make linux make me a fatal error

[root@pc6 lua-5.3.4]# make linux cd src && make linux make1: Entering directory /root/install-package/lua-5.3.4/src' make all SYSCFLAGS="-DLUA_USE_LINUX" SYSLIBS="-Wl,-E -ldl -lreadline" make[2]: Entering directory/root/install-package/lua-5.3.4/src' gcc -std=gnu99 -O2 -Wall -Wextra -DLUA_COMPAT_5_2 -DLUA_USE_LINUX -c -o lua.o lua.c lua.c:82:31: fatal error: readline/readline.h: No such file or directory #include ^ compilation terminated. make[2]: * [lua.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory /root/install-package/lua-5.3.4/src' make[1]: *** [linux] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory/root/install-package/lua-5.3.4/src' make: * [linux] Error 2

So what do you suggest me to do. Centos 7 has been istalled today. May do I miss to install a dependent a library?

Thank for your help

If you are feeling lazy, the IUS repo has prebuilt packages of lua5.3 for el7 under the name lua53u (u presumably stands for "update") (and lua53u-devel, etc, depending on what you need).

Simply enable the repo and then install:

# enable repos
yum install -y epel-release https://repo.ius.io/ius-release-el7.rpm
# install
yum install -y lua53u

The download page which you mention says:

There are detailed instructions in the package

This link points to the README, which says:

If you're running Linux and get compilation errors, make sure you have installed the readline development package (which is probably named libreadline-dev or readline-devel).

If you don't want to install readline, try make posix or make posix MYCFLAGS=-DLUA_USE_DLOPEN MYLIBS=-ldl instead. You may need to do make clean first.
