Build Preparation

git submodule update --init --recursive

./build.sh                    # Build module only
./build.sh --with-tests       # Build module and Valkey test server
./build.sh --clean            # Clean build artifacts

Run Tests

# Build test infrastructure (first time only)
./build.sh --with-tests

valkey-server --loadmodule build/libvalkeyluajit.so

Or in valkey.conf:
