I wanna test if some methods I created using Lua, but I don't where can I get its own compiler if is not a game that uses Lua, and I don't wanna open it everytime I need test something simple, is there a "basic compiler"?

If you have Lua installed on your system, just run

lua yourfile.lua

in your terminal (or cmd).

@Sonazuma Thanks, but I don't use Unix, I use Windows, and this is not clear to me

How to install Lua on Windows

Even on Windows, once you have Lua installed (see @Sonazuma 's last post) you should be able to execute the Lua interpreter from the Windows prompt, like this:

lua.exe yourfile.lua

This should work, as long as the path to lua.exe is listed in the PATH variable.

Thank you, it worked.

Is there a way to compile lua so that it runs on a computer without lua installed?

Google srlua.

I'm working on a MacOS env, not Windows... any alternatives?
