How to install nginx mod lua on Amazon Linux 2?

Question

I have an Amazon Linux 2 machine. I have installed NGINX with

amazon-linux-extras install nginx1.12

How can I install nginx-mod-http-lua?

I have tried:

yum search lua

and no packages are listed which look like what I want.

This page https://docs.nginx.com/nginx/admin-guide/dynamic-modules/lua/ says to run yum install nginx-plus-module-lua, but I get No package nginx-plus-module-lua available.

Installation procedure that you are referring to is for NGINX+

Is there an `nginx-mod-http-lua` RPM linked from that answer? I can't find it amongst all the links about how to install rpms, if so. – Rich Apr 04 '19 at 13:57
No there is no rpm, you need to follow procedure described – Branko Markovic Apr 05 '19 at 09:48
So install from source only. OK, thanks! – Rich Apr 05 '19 at 10:05
Please find package here - https://centos.pkgs.org/7/puias-unsupported-x86_64/nginx-mod-http-lua-0.10.7-1.sdl7.x86_64.rpm.html – sanjayparmar May 13 '19 at 10:04

Since Amazon Linux 2 is largely a clone of CentOS/RHEL, you may have your luck with RPM packages for those systems:

yum install https://extras.getpagespeed.com/release-el7-latest.rpm
yum install nginx-module-lua
