lua: Execute a Lua script.
$ lua ${path-to-script-lua} ${--optional-argument}
try on your machine

The command lua ${path-to-script-lua} ${--optional-argument} is a command-line instruction for running a Lua script with an optional argument.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • lua: This is the Lua interpreter command. It is used to execute Lua scripts.

  • ${path-to-script-lua}: This is a placeholder representing the path to the Lua script file that you want to run. You need to provide the actual path to the Lua script in place of ${path-to-script-lua}.

  • ${--optional-argument}: This is another placeholder representing an optional argument that you can pass to the Lua script. You can choose to include or exclude this argument based on your requirements. If you choose to include it, you need to provide the actual value or input in place of ${--optional-argument}.

To run the command, you need to replace ${path-to-script-lua} with the actual path to your Lua script file. Additionally, if you have any specific optional arguments, you can replace ${--optional-argument} with the actual value you want to pass.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
