----------------------------------------
### New To Programming
**_TODO: Include a brief lua tutorial here, and links to more online._**
If you're completely new to programming, Lua is a good first languae. It's relatively simple, has plenty of resources available online, and you can learn it while modding your favorite games.

First, install Lua:
Windows: https://github.com/rjpcomputing/luaforwindows/releases
MacOS: `brew install lua`

Debian: `sudo apt install lua<VERSION>`
RHEL: `yum install lua`
Fedora: `dnf install lua`

Traditionally, the first application written when learning a new language is called a Hello World. In Lua, this is quite simple. Create a new file name HelloWorld.lua, and add the following to it:
`print("Hello World")`

Then, in a terminal, navigate to that folder and type `lua HelloWorld.lua`

If you see Hello World on the screen, you have correctly installed Lua and you're ready to continue.
