Configuring hardtime within vimscript init.vim triggers errors in lua

With the following in my init.vim, I receive the below error.

Plug 'm4xshen/hardtime.nvim'
lua require("hardtime").setup()

@gms8994 Do you put require line outside of call plug section like this?

call plug#begin()

Plug 'm4xshen/hardtime.nvim'

call plug#end()

lua require("hardtime").setup()

@m4xshen I've tried it both inside and outside the plug#begin / plug#end calls, and both times I receive an error like this:

E5108: Error executing lua /Users/gms8994/.config/nvim/lua/hardtime.lua:9: loop or previous error loading module 'hardtime'

@gms8994 what's the content of /Users/gms8994/.config/nvim/lua/hardtime.lua?

[gms8994]

This is from a previous attempt to install hardtime, so I may have some things set incorrectly.

local vim = vim
local Plug = vim.fn['plug#']
vim.call('plug#begin')

Plug('m4xshen/hardtime.nvim')

vim.call('plug#end')

require('hardtime').setup()

Hmm why do you install and setup it twice? I think the init.vim is just enough. You should try remove hardtime.lua file

[gms8994]

Removing that, I get the following error with lua require("hardtime").setup() in my init.vim
