There are a series of posts about pdlua and the Lua language alongside Pure Data (like this one and this one).
But when trying to install pdlua on a Linux mint using this tutorial (https://github.com/agraef/pd-lua) I couldn't configure the library to boot alongside Pure Data. I'm not even sure I managed to install it. Can you help me with this?

@lucassilveira pdlua is on deken so you can install it just by going to the help menu, selecting "find externals" and doing a search for pdlua.

@lucassilveira

Try this:

1. git clone https://github.com/agraef/pd-lua.git
2. cd pd-lua
3. git submodule update --init (checks if Lua are installed in same directory than pd-lua)
4. sudo make
5. sudo make install

After this, probably pd-lua will be installed on yout computer. Check /usr/local/lib/pd-externals
