🛠️ Build From Source

[!NOTE] Make sure you have Rust >= 1.85.0 installed.

To build Cord from source, you can run :Cord update build (async) which will install the server binary from crates.io by running the following command:

cargo install --path . --root path/to/nvim-data-dir/cord/bin --force

Alternatively, you can use cargo b --release to build the binary, then place it under nvim-data-dir/cord/bin.
