== 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.

* To log all LSP requests, add `"rust-analyzer.trace.server": "verbose"` to the settings and look for `Server Trace` in the panel.

Other editors generally require the `rust-analyzer` binary to be in `$PATH`.
You can download the pre-built binary from the https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer/releases[releases] page. Typically, you then need to rename the binary for your platform, e.g. `rust-analyzer-mac` if you're on Mac OS, to `rust-analzyer` and make it executable in addition to moving it into a directory in your `$PATH`.
On Linux to install the `rust-analyzer` binary into `~/.cargo/bin` which usually is already added to `$PATH`, this commands could be used
[source,bash]
----
$ curl -L https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer/releases/latest/download/rust-analyzer-linux -o ~/.cargo/bin/rust-analyzer
$ chmod +x ~/.cargo/bin/rust-analyzer

Alternatively, you can install it from source using the following command:
[source,bash]
----
$ git clone https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer.git && cd rust-analyzer
$ cargo xtask install --server

Cargo-xtask can be found at https://github.com/matklad/cargo-xtask
If your editor can't find the binary even though the binary is on your `$PATH`, the likely explanation is that it doesn't see the same `$PATH` as the shell, see https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer/issues/1811[this issue]. On Unix, running the editor from a shell or changing the `.desktop` file to set the environment should help.
