This chapter covered how to install Lua and VS Code. VS Code is the development environment that will be used throughout this book to write and execute Lua code. The integrated Terminal in Visual Studio Code allows us to execute code the same way on all three major platforms: Windows, Linux, and macOS.
In the next chapter, we will start to write code. The basics of Lua, such as variables, loops, if statements, and functions, will be covered. The topics covered in the next chapter are the basics of programming; it is going to be one of the most important chapters in this book.
