Error - "No LuaRocks module found for fb.python"

Question

I am trying to implement a library which is a Github project on 3D reconstruction using a single image in Ubuntu 16.04. I have installed all dependencies. I have checked if each dependency is correctly installed with help from Google searches and stackoverflow.

But, when I am executing the ./run.sh as mentioned in the Github page, I get the following error.

/home/username/torch/install/bin/luajit: /home/username/torch/install/share/lua/5.1/trepl/init.lua:389: /home/username/torch/install/share/lua/5.1/trepl/init.lua:389: module 'fb.python' not found:No LuaRocks module found for fb.python

stack traceback:

ls: cannot access '*.txt': No such file or directory

This issue is in Torch directory and not in the project.

So please guide me how I can resolve it or what could have gone wrong.

P.S. I am new to Linux.

You need to install Torch first. th and luarocks both commands will be available after you install Torch, see Torch
