## Install for Kate on Arch Linux

Supported operating systems:

### Install prerequisites

Install Kate version 19 or newer.

### Install quick-lint-js

quick-lint-js has two packages in the AUR:

- quick-lint-js: latest stable release
- quick-lint-js-git: unstable version from VCS

If you are using an AUR helper, install quick-lint-js on Arch Linux using your helper. For example, to install with yay, open a terminal and run the following commands:

>     yay -Sy quick-lint-js

If you want to install without an AUR helper, download and install the package from AUR manually by running the following commands:

>     pacman -Sy base-devel git
>     git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/quick-lint-js.git aur-quick-lint-js
>     cd aur-quick-lint-js
>     makepkg -si

    {
        "servers": {
            "javascript": {
