I have a simple lua source code called hello.lua
JavaScript
x
print('Hello Lua')
I complied this file to bytecode on a RedHat Linux machine , using Lua5.3.4 as follows:
JavaScript
luac -o hello.luac hello.lua
chmod +x hello.luac
./hello.luac
bash: ./hello.luac: cannot execute binary file
The architecture should be fine I guess. I cant figure what is wrong.

Precompiled Lua programs are run exactly the same way as source:
JavaScript
lua hello.luac
