### Zed

Install the [dexter-zed](https://github.com/remoteoss/dexter-zed) extension:
Dexter is included in Zed's official [Elixir extension](https://github.com/zed-extensions/elixir). No extra installation needed — just enable it in your Zed `settings.json`:

1. In Zed, open **Extensions** (`Cmd+Shift+X`) and search for **"Dexter"**
2. Click **Install**
3. Open any Elixir file — the index builds automatically on first startup
```json
{
"languages": {
"Elixir": {
"language_servers": ["dexter", "!elixir-ls", "!expert"]
},
"HEEx": {
"language_servers": ["dexter", "!elixir-ls", "!expert"]
}
}
}
```
