sh lualua

Then you should get some meaningful output in the terminal.

robert@robert-desktop:~$ cd lualuaLinux
robert@robert-desktop:~/lualuaLinux$ sh lualua
lualua: 3: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
robert@robert-desktop:~/lualuaLinux$ /sh lualua
bash: /sh: No such file or directory
robert@robert-desktop:~/lualuaLinux$ \sh lualua
lualua: 3: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
robert@robert-desktop:~/lualuaLinux$ sh lualua
lualua: 3: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
robert@robert-desktop:~/lualuaLinux$

will not work .......thank anyway

This is a longshot, but after changing directories, try running it like this:

Code:

bash lualua

Make sure you execute the command in the right place, eg;

file on Desktop

Code:

cd ~/Desktop

Code:

cd <path>

to change directory.
