If you don't want to compile your own Lua binaries, you can try ZeroBrane Studio Lua IDE, which comes packaged as a .dmg file for OSX. It's an IDE that allows you to edit and debug your Lua scripts. If you are just starting with Lua, it also includes 50+ examples and demo scripts, as well as integrated instructions on running them, so you won't be facing an empty screen not knowing where to start.
