Sure! The Lua binaries need to be placed somewhere in your PATH, so that the command line can find them. You can see your path by typing "ECHO $PATH" in Terminal - it's a list of folders, separated by colons, which show where Terminal will look for an executable when you type a command.

The easiest way, then, is to move the Lua binaries to one of those folders - the traditional choice is /usr/local/bin. You can open the folder in Finder by using the "Go To Folder..." option in the Go menu, and once opened, just drop the binaries in there. Or if you know your way around the command line already, you can use that instead.
