This is what I get. I think my problem is, that I do not really know how to make the correct lua directory in the .config/darktable (as there is no lua directory)
you need to remove the .config/darktable/lua directory and remove the .config/darktable/luarc file and let darktable recreate them, instead of you trying to create them.
sorry - I did not express myself correctly: The thing is, I do not have a lua directory in .config/darktable/
I have removed luarc file, but darktable does not ask to install scripts
I’ve been trying for a while to get LUA up and running, with no joy. Looking at this thread, I decided to insatll Lua Script Manager, but still no joy. Likely its a simple mistake on my part, hopefully someone can set me right.
Bit of background:
I have been compiling the latest git version of darktable for some years, and I put my executable in /opt/darktable. Also the latest mint release includes a flatpak version.
After following the instructions above, the flatpak version runs the Script Manager correctly, but no matter what I do, my compiled /opt DT does not show Script Manager.
I have tried:
/opt/darktable/bin/darktable --configdir ~/.config/darktable/ -d lua
no errors are shown.
I deleting luarc and lua/ but DT does not ask to install scripts.

There is your reply.
Either install lua in your operating system, or set darktable’s compile defaults correctly
(i.e. set it to use dt’s internal lua version).
