Install

Marketplace: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Phel-Lang.phel-lang

Open Extensions (Cmd+Shift+X), search "Phel Lang", click Install. Or:

code --install-extension Phel-Lang.phel-lang

Requires VS Code 1.75+.

Configuration

The extension expects the Phel CLI at vendor/bin/phel (Composer default). For other layouts, set phel.executablePath once in .vscode/settings.json:

{ "phel.executablePath": "bin/phel" }

Per-subsystem overrides (phel.diagnostics.command, phel.format.command, phel.test.command, phel.repl.command) take precedence when set. Full settings reference: docs/settings.md.
