#7. Installing programs.
In the terminal, type lua
. It should spit out "command not found".
Now do sudo apt-get install lua5.2
. It will say lots and eventually let you type again. Lua has now been installed.
If you type lua
again, it will bring you into a lua prompt. Press ctrl+C to exit.
Here is what happened:
sudo
: give you admin privelages for the fake computer.
apt-get
: this is the package manager.
install
: this is a package manager command for install new package.
lua5.2
: the package to install
Now you can also write a lua script and run it using this command:
Now you can just write 'lua' and then the name of your file to run it.
