## Helix Setup Guide for `ruff server`
First, open the language configuration file for Helix. On Linux and macOS, this will be at `~/.config/helix/languages.toml`,
and on Windows this will be at `%AppData%\helix\languages.toml`.
Add the language server by adding:
```toml
[language-server.ruff]
command = "ruff"
args = ["server", "--preview"]
```
Then, you'll register the language server as the one to use with Python.
If you don't already have a language server registered to use with Python, add this to `languages.toml`:
```toml
[[language]]
name = "python"
language-servers = ["ruff"]
```
Otherwise, if you already have `language-servers` defined, you can simply add `"ruff"` to the list. For example,
if you already have `pylsp` as a language server, you can modify the language entry as follows:
```toml
[[language]]
name = "python"
language-servers = ["ruff", "pylsp"]
```
> \[!NOTE\]
> Multiple language servers for a single language are only supported in Helix version [`23.10`](https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#2310-2023-10-24) and later.
Once you've set up the server, you should see diagnostics in your Python files. Code actions and other LSP features should also be available.

*This screenshot is using `select=["ALL]"` for demonstration purposes.*
If you want to, as an example, turn on auto-formatting, add `auto-format = true`:
```toml
[[language]]
name = "python"
language-servers = ["ruff", "pylsp"]
auto-format = true
```
See the [Helix documentation](https://docs.helix-editor.com/languages.html) for more settings you can use here.
You can pass settings into `ruff server` using `[language-server.ruff.config.settings]`. For example:
```toml
[language-server.ruff.config.settings]
line-length = 80
[language-server.ruff.config.settings.lint]
select = ["E4", "E7"]
preview = false
[language-server.ruff.config.settings.format]
preview = true
```
