Luv not working nor installing via Luarocks

[Nazadup]

I've tried some different methods of installing Luv, but so far i got no sucess. I tried both building from source and installig via Luarocks. When building from source, everything seems to work properly, but when i try to run a code that requires luv, it doesn't works, here's the code i'm trying to run:
uv = require('luv') --luarocks install luv

function set_timeout(timeout, callback)
local timer = uv.new_timer()
local function ontimeout()
uv.timer_stop(timer)
uv.close(timer)
callback()
end
uv.timer_start(timer, timeout, 0, ontimeout)
return timer
end

set_timeout(1000, function() print('ok') end) -- time in ms

uv.run() --it will hold at this point until every timer have finished

Visual Studio Code returns:
lua: C:\Users\Win10\Desktop\Lua Folders\Lua Coding\learn.lua:1: module 'luv' not found: no field package.preload['luv'] no file 'C:\lua' no file 'C:\lua\luv.dll' no file 'C:\lua\..\lib\lua\5.4\luv.dll' no file 'C:\lua\loadall.dll' no file '.\luv.dll' no file 'C:\lua\luv54.dll' no file '.\luv54.dll' stack traceback: [C]: in function 'require' C:\Users\Win10\Desktop\Lua Folders\Lua Coding\learn.lua:1: in main chunk [C]: in ? The terminal process "C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /d /c lua "C:\Users\Win10\Desktop\Lua Folders\Lua Coding\learn.lua"" terminated with exit code: 1.

And, whenever i try to install luv via Luarocks, either trough Visual Studio Code or cmd (can't do it on PowerShell, my Luarocks doesn't works there), i get this:
C:\Users\Win10\Documents\LuaRocks>luarocks install luv
Installing https://luarocks.org/luv-1.36.0-0.src.rock

luv 1.36.0-0 depends on lua >= 5.1 (5.4-1 provided by VM)

Information that might be useful: I did try to reinstall it multiple times, i do have CMake and MinGW (had to get MinGW because installing Luv through Luarocks was giving a different error, which ceased after MinGW being installed) and i'm doing it all in a Windows 10 machine. Also, i'm very new into programming.

So, what is going on and how can i fix it?

Looks like an issue with Lua 5.4. Relevant issues:

• Error when installing using luarocks using Lua 5.4.0 #514
• Lua 5.4 #497
• Lua 5.4 support #515

Thanks a lot but i'm not sure what i should do, tho. Do you recommend me installing Lua 5.3, instead?

Unfortunately our Lua 5.4 support is not quite there yet. Looks like the error you're getting is from your Lua lib files not being found when searching for them here:

luv/CMakeLists.txt

Line 97 in f283b5a

NAMES lua lua53 lua52 lua51 liblua liblua53 liblua52 liblua51

Note to self: need to add lua54 liblua54 to the lib search names in #515

Hey, I'm experiencing the exact same issue with LUA_LIBRARIES not found, and I'm using lua 5.3.

Oh, just posted the same Issue with lua5.1

Is this still a problem with the latest release?
