I have a new Debian Jessie machine, but when I try to install Lua (5.3) through apt I get this error:

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree

Reading stateinformation... Done

E: Unable to locate package lua5.3

E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'lua5.3'

I've been looking through Mr. Google to find out some information, but couldn't find anything

You can install lua5.3 from jessie backports :

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

Add the following line;

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main 

Save Ctrl + O ; Enter ; Ctrl + X then run:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -t jessie-backports install lua5.3
