A Neovim plugin for installing and managing LSP servers with a graphical UI, version upgrades, and Windows support. It is no longer maintained and has been superseded by mason.nvim, which extends the same foundation to DAP servers, linters, and formatters.

Use cases

  • install lsp servers for neovim
  • manage language servers inside neovim
  • upgrade lsp server versions from neovim
  • graphical ui for neovim lsp server management
  • install rust_analyzer nightly in neovim

When to choose

  • you are pinned to an old Neovim setup that still depends on nvim-lsp-installer
  • you need to read its source to migrate to mason.nvim

When to avoid

  • starting a new Neovim configuration - use mason.nvim instead
  • you need bug fixes or new LSP server support
  • you want DAP servers, linters, or formatter management
