Lua is not recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file

[PedroSV2012]

when starting a debug shows up an error saying: Lua is not recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file. how do i fix this?

Did you download lua off of the official website and download this and the lua extension, and set lua 5.1 to the lua-local interpreter in the settings?

You may need to add your lua interpreter to your PATH environment variable.
