I need to install Lwan on VM of Clear Linux Server edition in my proxmox home server.
I have installed the dependencies but lack Lua-5.1 and or LuaJIT-2.0
How I can install this? I don’t find the specific bundle.

You’d have to build and install older versions yourself. Clear Linux only has bundles with newer versions

There is not building the source.

To build lua from source you need the devpkg-ncurses and devpkg-readline bundles.

Thanks @bunyip. I can now continue my journey to install Lwan on Clear Linux Server.

After trying to run Lua in version 5.1 I found out that I should add it to PATH. Searching for a solution I ended up with a video tip from the YouTube channel already known to me the Glider Space. Introducing the asdf-lua that fell like a glove for my need.

Now I have my project initially working.
