Hi,

I read, that Kate can help us writing code or configuration files with LSP.
shellcheck is a nice little tool too and curl for the next step.

Code: Select all

sudo apt install -s shellcheck curl

BASH was my first LSP target and I read there is a standard written in JavaScript. Having always manoeuvred around it was time to face it, but as little as possible. The smallest install I found, was this:

npm = installer
node = I don't know
-g = on the command line or something, install it "globally"

NodeSource Node.js Binary Distributions - https://github.com/nodesource/distributions
Node.js LTS (v18.x) will install Node.js 18.x and npm:

Code: Select all

curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_lts.x | sudo -E bash - &&\
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

After the heavy lifting of nodeJS, it just needs a simple:

Bash Language Server - https://github.com/bash-lsp/bash-language-server

Code: Select all

npm i -g bash-language-server
install path is: '/usr/lib/node_modules/bash-language-server'

After 2 hours this was done and I was happy, BUT I need a LSP for HTML and YAML-config too.
HTML - vscode-html-languageservice - https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-htm ... ageservice

Code: Select all

sudo npm i -g vscode-html-languageservice

YAML - https://github.com/redhat-developer/yaml-language-server
npm i -g yaml-language-server

And this where I got stuck I have done the install, but Kate throws errors at me, it cannot find the server. BASH-LSP runs fine, what is missing?

What do you use the "-s" option for?

In Debian, "npm" is included: apt show npm

With this, "npm i -g bash-language-server" installs the data under: /usr/local/lib/node_modules/bash-language-server

I guess you refer to that,

Code: Select all

sudo apt install -s shellcheck curl

if someone paste`s the command, it will only simulate the install.
