## Quick Start
## Language Server Quick Start
Rust analyzer builds on Rust >= 1.31.0 and uses the 2018 edition.
Rust Analyzer is a work-in-progress, so you'll have to build it from source, and
you might encounter critical bugs. That said, it is complete enough to provide a
useful IDE experience and some people use it as a daily driver.
To build rust-analyzer, you need:
* latest stable rust for language server itself
* latest stable npm and VS Code for VS Code extension (`code` should be a path)
For setup for other languages, see [./docs/users].
```
# run tests
$ cargo test
# clone the repo
$ git clone https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer && cd rust-analyzer
# show syntax tree of a Rust file
$ cargo run --package ra_cli parse < crates/ra_syntax/src/lib.rs
# install both the language server and VS Code extension
$ cargo install-code
# show symbols of a Rust file
$ cargo run --package ra_cli symbols < crates/ra_syntax/src/lib.rs
# install the language server
# alternatively, install only the server. Binary name is `ra_lsp_server`.
$ cargo install-lsp
or
$ cargo install --path crates/ra_lsp_server
```
## Documentation
See [these instructions](./editors/README.md) for VS Code setup and the list of
features (some of which are VS Code specific).
If you want to **contribute** to rust-analyzer or just curious about how things work
under the hood, check the [./docs/dev] folder.
## Debugging
See [these instructions](./DEBUGGING.md) on how to debug the vscode extension and the lsp server.
If you want to **use** rust-analyzer's language server with your editor of
choice, check [./docs/users] folder. It also contains some tips & tricks to help
you be more productive when using rust-analyzer.
