To make the LOOP packages available for any Lua application you may simply execute the application in the lua directory of the LOOP package. Therefore, to give it a try, just execute the Lua stand-alone interpreter in the lua directory located in the place where you unpacked LOOP. However, to properly install LOOP in your environment you must copy the contents of this lua directory to the Lua package directory, which is defined by the luaconf.h file during the compilation of Lua. The default values for this directory are listed below:

Unix

Lua 5.1: /usr/local/share/lua/5.1/
Lua 5.2: /usr/local/share/lua/5.2/

Windows

Directory where the application (e.g. stand-alone interpreter) is installed.

You can also define the directories Lua searches for packages by setting the LUA_PATH.
