You can read this for an introduction : [Login to see the link]

Modules are just separated Lua files that can be imported with the require() function.
A module can return a value, generaly a table that contains the module that will be returned by the require() function.

Ok I've found what's going on.
In LuaRT Studio, the project path (the folder you see in the "Project" pane on the left) is where your current Lua files are searched when calling require()

One way to require for module mymodule.lua is to call require(path.to.the.folder.mymodule)
