running lua programs from cmd

Question

I'm looking to run lua code in the Command Prompt from windows. Its in windows 7 but it can run on Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8. Please tell me if there is a way to or how to be able to do it.

Download and install LUA. You can get it from here: lua.org/download.html or try this one: code.google.com/p/luaforwindows — Adam

simply use the lua interpreter. More info at lua.org/pil/1.4.html (anything but the two first examples are also appliable under windows) — Not a real meerkat

Use lua.exe myscript.lua. You can download and build Lua yourself or get Lua binaries for Windows.

That's not a standard Lua interpreter then. Any arguments after location are arguments to the script itself.

well no but it could be "lua [run : edit : debug [true : false]] [Location] [arguments]

I have no idea what run/edit/debug mean in this particular context. If you want to be able to edit, run, and debug Lua applications, you may want to try something like ZeroBrane Studio I've been developing.
