Running Lua scripts - Windows 64 bit

Question

Recently I've started learning Lua programming language but I don't know how to run the scripts I'm writing(.lua files). Basically I'm practicing in eclipse with Eclipse LDT, but I want to run my scripts more freely, like in cmd. What do I need to do?

Answer 1

You can download the Lua source here or the binaries here . After that, simply install the Lua interpreter and open your command line.

There are two ways to use Lua with the shell:

directly:

lua

running a Lua script:

lua script.lua

In this post you can find various Lua editors or development environments.

Please use google or other search engines first.
