Help with themes and LSP

[HarrisonHemstreet]

From what I've seen from YouTubers, it looks like their helix config had rust analyzer all set up and a long list of themes out of the box. But when I install helix, I'm not getting any of that. Was there a recent update that removed a lot of the default stuff from helix such as preinstalled LSPs and themes?

If this is the case, will someone please point me to a good tutorial on how I can install those themes I'm missing and get my LSP set up?

If you are missing the default themes, you most likely missed the step for linking the runtime directory:

helix/README.md

Lines 46 to 53 in 48a3965

	Helix needs its runtime files so make sure to copy/symlink the `runtime/` directory into the
	config directory (for example `~/.config/helix/runtime` on Linux/macOS, or `%AppData%/helix/runtime` on Windows).
	| OS | Command |
	| -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
	| Windows (Cmd) | `xcopy /e /i runtime %AppData%\helix\runtime` |
	| Windows (PowerShell) | `xcopy /e /i runtime $Env:AppData\helix\runtime` |
	| Linux / MacOS | `ln -s $PWD/runtime ~/.config/helix/runtime` |

Rust-analyzer and other language servers should work out of the box but they need to be installed https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/wiki/How-to-install-the-default-language-servers#rust_analyzer
