Build a LUA environment on your MAC

First, download and install

(2) compiling

Building

Lua is implemented in pure ANSI C and compiles unmodified with all platforms that has an ANSI C compiler. Lua also compiles cleanly as C + +.

Lua is very easy to build and install. There was detailed instructions in the package but here's a simple terminal session that downloads the current release of Lua and builds it in Linux:

Curl-r-O http://www.lua.org/ftp/lua-5.3.1.tar.gztar zxf lua-5.3. 1. Tar . GZCD Lua-5.3. 1  make Linux test

For Mac OS X, use make macosx test .

Normally it will appear: src/lua-v

(3) Installation

Then enter the "sudo make install" command, you will be asked to enter password: Enter the appropriate password (your password), and then enter the automatic installation
After the installation is complete can enter LUA-V, enter will see: Lua 5.3.1 Copyright (C) 1994-2015 lua.org, Puc-riook, has been installed successfully!

Second, using the IDE

1. Installing Sublime

2. Installing the LUA Compiler

Tools->build system->new Build System

Input:

{   "cmd": ["/usr/local/bin/lua", "$file"],   "File_regex": "^ (... *):( [0-9]*):? ([0-9]*) ",   " selector ":" Source.lua "  }  

Save As Lua.sublime-build and then choose Lua on the tools-build system to compile the script.

3. Writing LUA code using sublime
