## stdio way

1. Download the standalone zip from the [Releases Page](https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlin-lsp/releases)

2. Ensure `kotlin-lsp.sh` is executable

```sh
chmod +x $KOTLIN_LSP_DIR/kotlin-lsp.sh
```

3. Create a symlink inside your `PATH` to `kotlin-lsp.sh` script, e.g.:

```sh
ln -s $KOTLIN_LSP_DIR/kotlin-lsp.sh $HOME/.local/bin/kotlin-lsp
```

4. Add the below configuration to your [languages.toml](https://docs.helix-editor.com/languages.html) in `~/.config/helix/languages.toml`:

```toml
[language-server.kotlin]
command = "kotlin-lsp"
args = ["--stdio"]

[[language]]
name = "kotlin"
language-servers = [ "kotlin" ]
```
