Download SDL [http://www.libsdl.org/release/SDL-1.2.14.tar.gz link]
Download xQuartz [http://xquartz.macosforge.org/downloads/SL/XQuartz-2.7.2.dmg link]

This should download to your downloads folder. Keep uncompressing until it becomes a folder.

Then, in terminal, type <code bash>cd </code> (<-- Make sure there is a space after) and then drag the SDL folder in.

then type in (or copy / paste) <code bash>./configure && make</code>

If that comes up with an error, go to this [https://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action# page] and download 'Command Line Tools for OS X'. 

There are two versions. One is for lion 10.7 and the other is for mountain lion 10.8. If you don't know which you are using, go to the apple in the top left hand corner and press about my mac.

After that, install SDL by typing in <code bash>sudo make install</code>
It will ask you for your password. Type it in and press enter.


After that is done, time to install Lua.
