You should not use sudo. Probably another luarocks command that exists on your system is used. (torch7's luarocks command will change the luarocks repository.)

which luarocks
sudo which luarocks

If you are not using lua for other software, I recommend uninstalling it.

Has this issue been resolved? I still can't seem to install graphicsmagick through luarocks:

ubuntu@ip-172-31-59-19:~$ luarocks install graphicsmagick
Installing https://raw.githubusercontent.com/torch/rocks/master/graphicsmagick-1.scm-0.rockspec...
Using https://raw.githubusercontent.com/torch/rocks/master/graphicsmagick-1.scm-0.rockspec... switching to 'build' mode
Cloning into 'graphicsmagick'...

it seems to hang at the Cloning into 'graphicsmagick'... part, just frozen. Nothing seems to happen for a long while until I just ctrl-C the operaiton.

Cheers

Actually, sorry, this is the error I receive:

fatal: unable to connect to github.com:
github.com[0: 192.30.253.112]: errno=Connection timed out
github.com[1: 192.30.253.113]: errno=Connection timed out

Error: Failed cloning git repository.

The same seems to happen with luarocks install csvigo.

[sanjeev342]

Okay. Feeling a little embarassed but my issue is resolved. Nothing but improper security group rules for an EC2 instance. Cheers.

@DrXie
If you installed luarocks from debian repository it does not work (report that half of required packets do not exist).
First type:

sudo apt remove luarocks

Then restart PC or run in terminal code that Torch added to your user .bashrc file ( cat ~/.bashrc ). In my case it was (linux user: jskalski ):

. /home/jskalski/torch/install/bin/torch-activate

I am having this same issue, and i'm not 100% sure how you all resolved this.

[alex-kinokon]

I fixed it with running

git config --global url."https://".insteadOf git://

before luarocks install.

The original cause of the issue is different, but currently related to #425 .
I pinned #425 to the issue tab.
