You need to give us some more information and look more on the wiki, but here are some things that may help.
1.Take the folder that your main.lua is in and drag it over the love.exe icon to run your game.
2. If that doesn't work, copy your main.lua file into a .zip folder. Rename the .zip to .love and run it. Make sure main.lua is in the .zip file, NOT the folder inside the .zip file
Good luck

I can't really say much, just as the other posts on this topic state because you don't have many details. However, I can say this: if you're using a shortcut on your desktop, make sure the game's folder is on the desktop as well if you're using windows. (This was the mistake I had been doing when I was new to love.) On mac, it helps to put the Love app on your dock.

If you're using Notepad++, a good thing to do (in my opinion) is set up this run command:
"c:\your\path\to\love.exe" "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)"
By going to Run>Run...
If not, you can simply drag the folder your project is in over a LÖVE shortcut, in the same fashion as if you were trying to put your project's folder inside another folder.
At last, you can put the content of your folder (not the folder itself!) inside a .zip file, then rename it from .zip to .love and double-click it.
If you're still unsure of what to do or if things didn't work, I'd highly recommend that you provide further information about your problem.
