Aeospike Mod Lua provides support for executing Lua language functions using the Aerospike data types. This module is used by both the Aerospike Server and the Aerospike C Client as a git submodule.

Building Aerospike Mod Lua requires the development resources for the Lua language version 5.4. The installation instructions for common Linux distributions are as follows:

To build the test app:

$ make test

To build a static archive libmod_lua.a:

$ make libmod_lua.a

To build a dynamic library libmod_lua.so:

$ make libmod_lua.so

• Double click xcode/aerospike-mod-lua.xcworkspace
• Click Product -> Build

• Double click vs/aerospike-mod-lua.sln
• Click Build -> Build Solution

All generated files are placed in ./target/{arch}, where:

• {arch} is the target architecture, e.g., Linux-x86_64.
• The lib subdirectory contains all libraries.
• The bin subdirectory contains all executables.

You will want to either:

1. Move the libmod_lua.so to a location your program can access.
2. Add the path to libmod_lua.so to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

To test, you can run the following:

$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:target/Linux-x86_64/lib
$ target/Linux-x86_64/bin/test record test1.record a b c d
