Programming in Lua on OS X?

Question

What can I use to program Lua script on Mac OS X? I\'m looking for something that I can use to compile/interpret Lua script on OS X.

Answer 1

The Lua source easily compiles with no changes on the mac. It will build lua (the interpreter which can act on a source script, a pre-compiled script or interactively) and luac which can be used to pre-compile source scripts.

From the lua.org website: http://luabinaries.luaforge.net/download.html. The ones you want are the darwin binaries (they say Mac OS X in the description).
