+## Why is it that installing APISIX dependencies with Luarocks causes timeout, slow or unsuccessful installation?
+
+There are two possibilities when encountering slow luarocks:
+
+1. Server used for luarocks installation is blocked
+2. There is a place between your network and github server to block the 'git' protocol
+
+For the first problem, you can use https_proxy or use the `--server` option to specify a luarocks server that you can access or access faster.
+Run the `luarocks config rocks_servers` command to see which server are available.
