Used a simple init.lua using the https://github.com/nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim.
Created a simple lua/ directory and create a file named installer.lua, paste packer configs.

Content of installer.lua

return require('packer').startup(function(use)
    use 'wbthomason/packer.nvim'
end)

The problem is that neovim actually sticks to lua 5.1 for different reasons.

The error most likely happens due to brew install luarocks being built with lua newer than 5.1. Even if you have [email protected] installed with brew, installing luarocks with the mentioned command will install the newest version of lua anyway.

I worked around it by compiling luarocks manually with lua 5.1 headers from brew. This worked for me:

$ brew install [email protected]
$ curl -R -O https://luarocks.github.io/luarocks/releases/luarocks-3.9.2.tar.gz
$ tar -zxf luarocks-3.9.2.tar.gz
$ cd luarocks-3.9.2.tar.gz
$ ./configure --with-lua-include="/opt/homebrew/Cellar/[email protected]/5.1.5_8/include/lua5.1"
$ make && make install
$ ln -s /usr/local/share/lua /opt/homebrew/share/
