If there are no setup steps for a language server on this page, but a [language server implementation](https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/implementors/servers/) exist, follow the guide for [creating a client configuration](./client_configuration.md). Pull requests for adding a new configuration are welcome.

## Slang

1. Install the [Slang](https://packages.sublimetext.io/packages/Slang) package from Package Control for syntax highlighting.
2. Download and unzip the Slang compiler from <https://github.com/shader-slang/slang/releases>. The `slangd` language server executable is inside the `bin` folder, so you can either add that to your PATH environment variable, or you need to specify the full path in the config below. Alternatively, the [Vulkan SDK](https://vulkan.lunarg.com/sdk/home) also includes the Slang compiler and language server, so you can skip this step if you already have that installed.
3. Open `Preferences > Package Settings > LSP > Server Configurations` and add the `"slang-lsp"` configuration:

// The assumed Slang language version for source files that do not contain a `#language` directive. The empty default follows the compiler's own default version. Set this to match the version you build with (for example a global `-std`/`-language-version` option) so the editor does not report false errors on directive-less files. A per-file `#language` directive always overrides this setting. Options: "" (use the compiler's default language version), "2018", "2025", "2026", "latest"
"slang.predefinedLanguageVersion": "",
