// Master copy of this document lives in the https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer repository
At it's core, rust-analyzer is a *library* for semantic analysis of the Rust code as it changes over time.
This manual focuses on a specific usage of the library -- the implementation of
https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/[Language Server Protocol].
LSP allows various code editors, like VS Code, Emacs or Vim, to implement semantic feature like completion or goto definition by talking to an external language server process.
To improve this document, send a pull request against
https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer/blob/master/docs/user/readme.adoc[this file].
== Installation
In theory, one should be able to just install the server binary and have it automatically work with any editor.
We are not there yet, so some editor specific setup is required.
=== VS Code
This the best supported editor at the moment.
rust-analyzer plugin for VS Code is maintained
https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer/tree/master/editors/code[in tree].
You can install the latest release of the plugin from
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=matklad.rust-analyzer[the marketplace].
By default, the plugin will download the latest version of the server as well.

The server binary is stored in `~/.config/Code/User/globalStorage/matklad.rust-analyzer`.
Note that we only support the latest version of VS Code.
==== Updates
The extension will be updated automatically as new versions become available.
The server update functionality is in progress.
For the time being, the workaround is to remove the binary from `globalStorage` and to restart the extension.
==== Building From Source
Alternatively, both the server and the plugin can be installed from source:
[source]
----
$ git clone https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer.git && cd rust-analyzer
$ cargo xtask install
----
You'll need Cargo, nodejs and npm for this.
To make VS Code use the freshly build server, add this to the settings:
[source,json]
----
{ "rust-analyzer.raLspServerPath": "ra_lsp_server" }
----
Note that installing via `xtask install` does not work for VS Code Remote, instead you'll need to install the `.vsix` manually.
=== Language Server Binary
Other editors generally require `ra_lsp_server` binary to be in `$PATH`.
You can download pre-build binary from
https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer/releases[relases]
page, or you can install it from source using the following command:
[source,bash]
----
$ cargo xtask install --server
----
=== Emacs
Emacs support is maintained https://github.com/emacs-lsp/lsp-mode/blob/master/lsp-rust.el[upstream].
1. Install recent version of `emacs-lsp` package by following the instructions https://github.com/emacs-lsp/lsp-mode[here].
2. Set `lsp-rust-server` to `'rust-analyzer`.
3. Run `lsp` in a Rust buffer.
4. (Optionally) bind commands like `lsp-rust-analyzer-join-lines`, `lsp-extend-selection` and `lsp-rust-analyzer-expand-macro` to keys.
=== Vim
The are several LSP client implementations for vim:
==== coc-rust-analyzer
1. Install coc.nvim by following the instructions at
https://github.com/neoclide/coc.nvim[coc.nvim]
(nodejs required)
2. Run `:CocInstall coc-rust-analyzer` to install
https://github.com/fannheyward/coc-rust-analyzer[coc-rust-analyzer],
this extension implements _most_ of the features supported in the VSCode extension:
* same configurations as VSCode extension, `rust-analyzer.raLspServerPath`, `rust-analyzer.enableCargoWatchOnStartup` etc.
* same commands too, `rust-analyzer.analyzerStatus`, `rust-analyzer.startCargoWatch` etc.
* highlighting and inlay_hints are not implemented yet
==== LanguageClient-neovim
1. Install LanguageClient-neovim by following the instructions
https://github.com/autozimu/LanguageClient-neovim[here]
* The github project wiki has extra tips on configuration
2. Configure by adding this to your vim/neovim config file (replacing the existing rust specific line if it exists):
+
[source,vim]
----
let g:LanguageClient_serverCommands = {
\ 'rust': ['ra_lsp_server'],
\ }
----
==== nvim-lsp
NeoVim 0.5 (not yet released) has built in language server support.
For a quick start configuration of rust-analyzer, use https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lsp#rust_analyzer[neovim/nvim-lsp].
Once `neovim/nvim-lsp` is installed, use `lua require'nvim_lsp'.rust_analyzer.setup({})` in your `init.vim`.
=== Sublime Text 3
Prerequisites:
`LSP` package.
Installation:
1. Invoke the command palette with <kbd>Ctrl+Shift+P</kbd>
2. Type `LSP Settings` to open the LSP preferences editor
3. Add the following LSP client definition to your settings:
+
[source,json]
----
"rust-analyzer": {
"command": ["ra_lsp_server"],
"languageId": "rust",
"scopes": ["source.rust"],
"syntaxes": [
"Packages/Rust/Rust.sublime-syntax",
"Packages/Rust Enhanced/RustEnhanced.sublime-syntax"
],
"initializationOptions": {
"featureFlags": {
}
},
}
----
4. You can now invoke the command palette and type LSP enable to locally/globally enable the rust-analyzer LSP (type LSP enable, then choose either locally or globally, then select rust-analyzer)
== Usage
See https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer/blob/master/docs/user/features.md[features.md].
