Lua for Mac环境搭建

1⃣️在Mac上安装Lua的运行环境再简单不过了，如果你的Mac Terminal上安装了Homebrew的话，只需要键入`brew install lua`即可。

longsl-mac:~ longsl$ brew install lua

2⃣️假如你的Mac上没有安装上面提到的Homebrew软件，那也没关系，直接编译lua源代码库就可以了。

 

Take Lua 5.2 as example: 

1. Open your Terminal.app
2. wget http://www.lua.org/work/lua-5.3.0-work3.tar.gz
3. tar xvzf lua-5.3.0-work3.tar.gz
4. cd lua-5.3.0-work3/src
5. make macosx(I believe you have Xcode installed)

 

After that, you can see 'lua' binary under current dir.

 sudo cp lua /usr/bin/lua
