You have Lua 5.1 installed in `/usr/bin` (???) and Lua 5.4 in `/usr/local/bin`. They can happily live separately in different folders. Just create symbolic links to both of them for your convenience. — ESkri, Jul 02 '23 at 21:22

It looks like Lua 5.1 is installed. You can use the lua5.1 command to run it.

You can also use update-alternatives --config lua-interpreter (and similar for lua-compiler) to choose which version should run when you use the lua command without a version number.
