Language Servers
Setup guides for individual language servers. Each page covers installation and Catenary configuration.
Manual system installs are one path. Catenary installs conformance-vetted
servers itself, into a directory it owns — automatically with
[servers] auto_install = true in your user config, or one at a time from
the TUI’s guided install — see
Managed language servers. The
pages here cover the manual system install: use them for servers outside the
vetted set, or when you prefer to manage server binaries yourself.

## Config
Catenary ships a built-in definition for `your-language-server` — no
`[lsp.server.*]` config is needed. If `your-language-server` is on PATH,
it works automatically.
<!-- OR, if the server is not in the built-in defaults: -->
Add to `~/.config/catenary/config.toml`. The `[lsp.server.*]` section key
**is** the server binary Catenary spawns (add `path = "/abs/path"` only to
relocate a binary that is not on PATH):
```toml
[lsp.server.your-language-server]
args = ["--stdio"]
[lsp.language.yourlanguage]
servers = ["your-language-server"]
```
