No need to install Linux
You can run and code Lua in Windows and more importantly in Visual Studio!
If you do not have it don't bother... just use Notepad++
So you need these few addons installed and you are rdy to go!
1) Install Lua pack for Windows (if you havent already )
2) The Visual Studio packs: Heer and Heer
3) TADA!
You should get GitHub too (if you havent already). There is a way to link it to your Visual Studio as well.
If you want I can do a tut. Just request it below
