Does anyone know how I get Lua installed and running on Windows?

Or should I be going to a Lua forum to ask that? I was trying to follow the instructions on installing it but I'm not clear on that. I know I don't need it to use Love 2D. Just asking because I read a lot of mention of it for game development.

Check out the
LuaBinaries project. You just download a zip file with the executable. Make sure you get the Lua version you want (e.g. Lua 5.1).
The
Lua for Windows project might be of interest as well. It's Lua plus a bunch of useful libraries and stuff.

You can run Lua just with build-in plugin for Notepad++ or with
ZeroBrain Studio.

When I need a Lua shell to test some regex, math formulas or some syntax that I forgot, I fire up the LuaJIT binary provided by the generous LuaPower project. You can get the binaries in here:
