How to properly use luarocks packages?

Hi @echasnovski ! How do I correctly import and use luarocks packages with mini.deps?
I found https://github.com/vhyrro/luarocks.nvim, is this the best method? If so, could you please add instructions on how to correctly install it using mini.deps?

Hello!

How do I correctly import and use luarocks packages with mini.deps?

Currently there is no support for Luarocks through 'mini.deps' directly, I am afraid. it is only limited to plugins organized as Git repos.

If the 'luarocks.nvim' works for you, then use it. It probably needs to be installed/added (MiniDeps.add('vhyrro/luarocks.nvim')) before any Luarocks package installation.
