Install from your local package manager, download a prebuilt binary from the lua site, or build from source.

how do i use the binaries after installing them

That depends on what you want to use Lua for.

Lua is generally used as an extension language, rather than a stand-alone interpreter. That means usually you include the Lua source code inside your game, so that your game is able to understand and run Lua scripts.

The standard Lua package does come with a stand-alone interpreter if you simply want to get the hang of the language by itself. You can read how to use it here: http://www.lua.org/pil/1.4.html
