Python 3.7+ and Robot Framework 3.2+ (note that Robot Framework may be installed in a separate python interpreter in case you need to run it with an older version of Python).

robotframework-lsp can be installed from the VisualStudio Marketplace or as a .vsix.

To get a .vsix, download the latest Deploy Extension in Robotframework-lsp Github Actions.

See: Install from a vsix for details installing a .vsix into VSCode.

See: Getting Started for a tutorial with some screenshots.

After having robotframework-lsp installed, some configurations (such as specifying the python executable used for launching the Language Server or Robot Framework) may be needed.

See: Config for details.
