I'm running some fairly recent version of Ubuntu but instead of
installing TeX from the repository I install TeXLive from here:
https://www.tug.org/texlive/
This way I can also keep all the packages much more up to date than
what Ubuntu does. Even after all these years, we're all still better
off installing TeXLive directly instead of through the repositories.

I ran your code (without the pathname for lyluatex since it is part of
TeXLive) with the command:
lualatex --shell-escape example.tex
and it compiled just fine without any errors. I didn't have to install
anything extra, I just keep TeXLive current and everything works.

I use emacs but compile the code from the command line.
