tikz-feynman package - lines drawn haphazardly

I use the following code using the tikz-feynman package.

\tikzfeynmanset{
    every vertex/.style={red, dot},
    every particle/.style={blue},
    every blob/.style={draw=green!40!black, pattern color=green!40!black},
}
\feynmandiagram [horizontal=a to b] {
    a [particle={\(\gamma, Z\)}] -- [boson] b [blob],
    c -- [fermion] b -- [fermion] d,
};

However, I get an output in which the lines are drawn haphazardly.

Is there a way to correct this?

I suspect it is because you aren't compiling with LuaLaTeX. If you want to use the automatic vertex placement algorithm, TikZ-Feynman needs access to Lua through LuaLaTeX. – JP-Ellis Feb 16 '17 at 01:49
what are the lualatex package names? – nightmarish Feb 16 '17 at 01:50

LuaLaTeX isn't a package, it's actually a completely different implementation of LaTeX. Instead of typing pdflatex my_file.tex, type lualatex my_file.tex. If you're using an editor, there should be an option somewhere to change the compiler (or search this website :) ) – JP-Ellis Feb 16 '17 at 01:55
I am using sharelatex – nightmarish Feb 16 '17 at 01:56

Yeah, so go into the options, and you should be able to change the compiler from pdfLaTeX to LuaLaTeX. – JP-Ellis Feb 16 '17 at 02:01
