The language server can also just be run from the command line, allowing it to be used wherever the Language Server Protocol is supported!
scoop install lua-language-server brew install lua-language-server sudo port install lua-language-server mise use aqua:LuaLS/lua-language-server ./bin/lua-language-server and check out the supported arguments.
If you plan to use a symbolic link to point to the language server, you will want to instead use a wrapper script like the one below. This is required because the language server expects to find files in the current working directory.
#!/bin/bash
exec "<path-to-directory>/bin/lua-language-server" "$@"Check out the wiki to learn more about the language server.
