The LUA file extension is the standard file type used by the popular scripting language Lua. Lua is a powerful, fast, and lightweight scripting language that is known for its high-level dynamic programming capabilities. For example, it enables users to write scripts that alter the behavior of applications and can be combined with other languages in order to create complex software and programs.
The LUA file contains source code written in the Lua language, which comprises a range of Lua instructions written in text format that can be interpreted and executed by Lua. LUA files can be created and edited with any plain text editor and can be executed within a compatible interpreter. As with other source code files, the LUA contains functions, loops, variables, statements, comments, class definitions, libraries and application logic. It is written similar to PHP and JavaScript.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .LUA) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .LUA extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .LUA file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .LUA extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .LUA extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .LUA file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .LUA file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .LUA file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .LUA file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .LUA file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
