So I've been trying to install the luasql-mysql module for a while now and I keep running into problems. This time when I go to install it gives me this error:
luasql-mysql 2.5.0-1 depends on lua >= 5.1 (5.3-1 provided by VM)

I'm going to try reinstalling everything and hopefully that works but if anyone knows why I'm getting this problem then I would appreciate the help.
