rojo/docs/installation.md

Rojo has two components:

• The server, a binary written in Rust
• The plugin, a Roblox Studio plugin written in Lua

It's important that the plugin and server are compatible. The plugin will show errors in the Roblox Studio Output window if there is a version mismatch.

Installing the Server

To install the server, either:

• If you have Rust installed, use cargo install rojo
• Or, download a pre-built Windows binary from the GitHub releases page

The Rojo binary must be run from the command line, like Terminal on MacOS or cmd.exe on Windows. It's recommended that you put the Rojo binary on your PATH to make this easier.

Installing the Plugin

To install the plugin, either:

• Install the plugin from the Roblox plugin page.
  • This gives you less control over what version you install -- you will always have the latest version.
• Or, download the latest release from the GitHub releases section and install it into your Roblox plugins folder
  • You can open this folder by clicking the "Plugins Folder" button from the Plugins toolbar in Roblox Studio

Visual Studio Code Extension

If you use Visual Studio Code on Windows, you can install Evaera's unofficial Rojo extension, which will install both halves of Rojo for you. It even has a nifty UI to add partitions and start/stop the Rojo server!
