You can compile the program into Lua's bytecode by executing
following on your shell:
$ luac bottles_of_matte.lua -o bottles_of_matte.luac

It chokes on the `-o' option!
It works fine, but you have to put the source file as the last argument and option flags like '-o' before that.
Demonstration:
$ ls test.l*
test.lua
$ luac test.lua -o test.luac
luac: cannot open -o: No such file or directory
$ ls test.l*
test.lua
$ luac -o test.luac test.lua
$ ls test.l*
test.lua test.luac
