When I try to run my code, it cannot find the file
So, I have a Code Runner, which works fine(it is used to run stuff easier) and I am trying to run a simple command using lua. I am trying to run print("Hello World") but everytime I try to run it, I get this
"[Running] lua "c:Users(My Name)DocumentsVisualCodeLuaTest.Lua"
'lua' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
[Done] exited with code=1 in 0.039 seconds"
Please Help

Please include actual code, without it it's simply impossible to even guess what's wrong.

Sounds like you are using Windows, and the command processor doesn't know what folder your lua.exe is in. You need to make sure that the folder that contains lua.exe is in your PATH environment variable. For instance, if your lua.exe is at C:UsersYournameLua5.3lua.exe, then you need to add C:UsersyournameLua5.3 to the PATH variable. You can do a web search or just search Stack Overflow to find out how to change the PATH variable. For example, here is how to do it in Windows 10 using the Control Panel.
