Enter the following code in the file
print("你好， Lua!")

Right click on the above program and execute
If the above error occurs, it means that the executable file of Lua is different from the default lua.exe in idea, and the execution parameters need to be modified.
Click Configuration Edit in the upper right corner
Modify the program content to have the same name as the actual executable file, here it is lua53.exe
After modification, save and re-execute, you can see the following output
lua53.exe com/study/lua/HelloLua.lua
