Installing Lua

["Ryne Anderson" <c_programmer341@...>]

I posted earlier on this message list about setting up lua for vc++, and got 
some good sites, but after countless hours of trying to decipher material 
that i couldnt quite understand i decided to come back for help.  First off, 
i need to see how to install Lua.  Does it need to be installed at all?  In 
the lua directory there are a bunch of files... INSTALL, README, CONFIG... 
etc but i cant access any of them.

Anyways, im not quite sure on how to access to lua (even by itself).  How 
can i "run" the script?  I tried typing stuff into the command line, but i 
cant find the part of lua that the machine runs that actually interprets the 
script.

Also, i looked into a thing called tolua which is suppose to bind the c/c++ 
functions to lua, but its talks about creating a package and then sending 
the package to lua.  All this material is foreign to me, and im more 
confused than ever.

If anyone wants to try to explain how this stuff all works, explain it like 
you would a 2 year old, because i just am not understanding any of the 
documentation ive read so far on setting it up.
