Install Zolo
Download the archive for your platform and run the commands below — they set up the runtime, plugins and PATH for you. No extra configuration needed.
Includes the runtime, language server (LSP), debugger (DAP) and all plugins.

Verify Installation
Includes the runtime, language server (LSP), debugger (DAP) and all plugins.
$ zolo version $ zolo doctor
VS Code Extension
Install the official extension for syntax highlighting, LSP autocompletion, DAP debugging and automatic formatting.
zolo Compiler and runtime — run and build Zolo programs
zolo-lsp Language Server — editor integration (autocomplete and diagnostics)
zolo-dap Debug Adapter — breakpoints, watches, and call stack
Don't double-click the .vsix — on Windows that opens the Visual Studio installer, which can't install VS Code extensions. Install it from your editor instead:
code --install-extension zolo-lang-0.1.8-alpha@linux-x64.vsix
Other Editors
lspconfig.zolo.setup{}[[language]] name = "zolo"eglot / lsp-modezolo-lspManage installationUpdate or uninstall Zolo
These commands permanently remove Zolo from your system. There's no undo — double-check the paths before running.
Uninstall the binaries
Removes ~/.zolo and its PATH entry.
rm -rf ~/.zolo ~/.local/bin/zolo ~/.local/bin/zolo-lsp ~/.local/bin/zolo-dap
Uninstall the extension
Works in VS Code and its forks — swap `code` for cursor / windsurf / etc.
code --uninstall-extension devzolo.zolo-lang
