About

Neovim plugin that allows you to seamlessly install LSP servers locally (inside :echo stdpath("data")).

On top of just providing commands for installing & uninstalling LSP servers, it:

  • provides a graphical UI
  • is optimized for blazing fast startup times
  • provides the ability to check for new server versions
  • supports installing custom versions of LSP servers (for example :LspInstall rust_analyzer@nightly)
  • relaxes the minimum requirements by attempting multiple different utilities (for example, only one of wget, curl, or Invoke-WebRequest is required for HTTP requests)
  • allows you to install and setup servers without having to restart neovim
  • hosts a suite of system tests for all supported servers
  • has full support for Windows

Usage

Commands

  • :LspInstallInfo - opens a graphical overview of your language servers
  • :LspInstall [--sync] [server] ... - installs/reinstalls language servers. Runs in a blocking fashion if the --sync argument is passed (only recommended for scripting purposes).
  • :LspUninstall [--sync] <server> ... - uninstalls language servers. Runs in a blocking fashion if the --sync argument is passed (only recommended for scripting purposes).
  • :LspUninstallAll [--no-confirm] - uninstalls all language servers
  • :LspInstallLog - opens the log file in a new tab window
  • :LspPrintInstalled - prints all installed language servers

Setup

The recommended way of setting up your installed servers is to do it through nvim-lsp-installer. By doing so, nvim-lsp-installer will make sure to inject any necessary properties before calling lspconfig's setup function for you. You may find a minimal example below. To see how you can override the default settings for a server, refer to the Wiki.

local lsp_installer = require("nvim-lsp-installer")

-- Register a handler that will be called for each installed server when it's ready (i.e. when installation is finished
-- or if the server is already installed).
lsp_installer.on_server_ready(function(server)
    local opts = {}

    -- (optional) Customize the options passed to the server
    -- if server.name == "tsserver" then
    --     opts.root_dir = function() ... end
    -- end

    -- This setup() function will take the provided server configuration and decorate it with the necessary properties
    -- before passing it onwards to lspconfig.
    -- Refer to https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig/blob/master/doc/server_configurations.md
    server:setup(opts)
end)

For more advanced use cases you may also interact with more APIs nvim-lsp-installer has to offer, refer to :help nvim-lsp-installer for more docs.

Configuration

You can configure certain behavior of nvim-lsp-installer by calling the .settings() function.

Make sure to provide your settings before any other interactions with nvim-lsp-installer!

Refer to the default configuration for all available settings.

Example:

local lsp_installer = require("nvim-lsp-installer")

lsp_installer.settings({
    ui = {
        icons = {
            server_installed = "",
            server_pending = "",
            server_uninstalled = ""
        }
    }
})

Custom servers

You can create your own installers by using the same APIs nvim-lsp-installer itself uses. Refer to CUSTOM_SERVERS.md for more information.
