yarn global add typescript-language-server

nvm

  • If you use Node Version Manager then typescript-language-server will be installed in the specific folder for the specific version of Node
  • For example for Node with version 18.7.0 it will be in the path $NVM_DIR/versions/node/v18.7.0/lib/node_module/typescript-language-server
  • Important!: ensure the server is executable from the command line (just type typescript-language-server and it should be available)

Pre-installing language servers by nvm and npm/yarn

  • Some of the language servers are available as npm packages
  • They can be installed by npm or yarn
  • You can specify the list of language servers that will be installed every time when you install node by nvm

The list should be in the special config file that is available on the path:

1

$NVM_DIR/default-package

An example of file default-package:

1
2
3

typescript-language-server
pyright

There can be any npm packages, not just language servers.
