一、下载并安装

（1）最新release版下载地址

http://www.lua.org/ftp/lua-5.3.1.tar.gz

（2）编译

Building

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

Lua is very easy to build and install. There are detailed instructions in the package but here is 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.gz
tar zxf lua-5.3.1.tar.gz
cd lua-5.3.1
make linux test

For Mac OS X, use make macosx test.

正常情况下会出现： src/lua -v

（3）安装

二、使用IDE

1. 安装Sublime

2. 安装Lua编译器

Tools->Build System->New Build System

输入：

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

保存为Lua.sublime-build，然后Tools-Build System上就能选择lua来编译脚本了。

3. 使用Sublime编写Lua代码
