> I wonder if anybody can direct me to an "assume-I-know-nothing" tutorial on downloading and installing packages. I am not familiar with the basic mechanism of Linux make and its competitors and further have to deal with the subtle differences needed to instal in OSX.
To download and install Lua in Mac OS X, open a Terminal window and do this:
curl -R -O http://www.lua.org/ftp/lua-5.2.0.tar.gz
tar zxf lua-5.2.0.tar.gz
cd lua-5.2.0
make macosx install
Adapted from http://www.lua.org/faq.html#1.1 which contains a litte more
information, incluing a link to Chapter 1 of the book Beginning Lua
Programming.
