Lua will be installed under /usr/local/ and the full path for the Lua interpreter will be /usr/local/bin/lua, but you don’t need to type the full path every time you want to call Lua, it’s OK just to type lua on the Terminal to get the interpreter.

Security note for Mountain Lion and Mavericks

On Mountain Lion and Mavericks things are a bit hard, you will probably get “lua-5.2.1-0.pkg” can’t be opened because it is from an unidentified developer. This means that the package was not registered with Apple – but you can choose to trust Rudix developers (I’m the author) and install anyway.
