Installing Helix
The typical way to install Helix is via your operating system's package manager.
Note that:


To get the latest nightly version of Helix, you need to
  build from source.


To take full advantage of Helix, install the language servers for your
  preferred programming languages. See the
  wiki
  for instructions.


Pre-built binaries
Download pre-built binaries from the GitHub Releases page.
The tarball contents include an hx binary and a runtime directory.
To set up Helix:

Add the hx binary to your system's $PATH to allow it to be used from the command line.
Copy the runtime directory to a location that hx searches for runtime files. A typical location on Linux/macOS is ~/.config/helix/runtime.

To see the runtime directories that hx searches, run hx --health. If necessary, you can override the default runtime location by setting the HELIX_RUNTIME environment variable.
