I have looked everywhere and i can't find out how to run a lua script on my mac. I know this is way out in left field and has nothing to do with CC but i need help. i can run the lua 'shell' which is like the lua program in CC but i can not load the file in either of them i can't execute it period.
please help.

First off, this isn't really the right spot, but don't worry, a moderator will probably move it soon.
What are you trying to do? If you're wanting to make CC programs without running Minecraft then you want an emulator. Take a look the general section, there are quite a few. I've also got a standalone one for Mac I can give you if you PM me.
If you just want to run Lua and not the CC APIs. If so it shouldn't be too hard, take a look at these sites:

I write Lua scripts in Sublime Text 2 on my Mac, and you can just execute the scripts in Terminal. Just navigate to the directory where you have your script with 'cd <directory>' and run it with 'lua <filename>'.

But you have to install lua before that will work. Also, you might want lua 5.1 and not 5.2, because that's what CC uses.

I'm pretty sure that OS X comes with Lua installed. The Lua.org website says that 'If you use Linux or Mac OS X, Lua is either already installed on your system or there is a Lua package for it.' I don't recall if I had to install anything when I starting programming.
