Description
The settings in this repo seems to require a sumneko-lua-language-server that's created by the installation script also in this repo. But normally local install of lua-language-server only provide an executable lua-language-server. For example, in Arch Linux's official repo, the package installs lua-language-server to /usr/bin, which is a shell script calling the actual executable lua-language-server somewhere else. The case is similar for other platforms. As a result, the language server is not automatically started because the executable can not be found.
Maybe the executable required should be lua-language-server to work better with local installs?

Research direction
Start with installer/install-sumneko-lua-language-server.sh and the repository settings that reference sumneko-lua-language-server. Compare that executable name with the lua-language-server command installed by the Arch package described in the issue, then verify that the language server starts with a local installation.
