+# Configuring `Emacs` as a `Crystal` IDE
+
+Author: [@lanjoni](https://github.com/lanjoni)
+
+In this guide, I'll show you how to configure `lsp-mode` for Crystal development, using `GNU Emacs`. By the end of this tutorial you will be able to use the code editor and all its features for Crystal so far.
+
+For all `lsp-mode` features, check
+[here](https://emacs-lsp.github.io/lsp-mode/page/main-features/).
+
+## Installing the language server
+
+`lsp-mode` is a client-server application with `Emacs` acting as the client. In
+order for it to work, you have to install a separate _language server_ that
+understands the specifics of your target language.
+
+For Crystal, we will be using [crystalline](https://github.com/elbywan/crystalline), which is currently the only [LSP](https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/implementors/servers/) server for Crystal that is still receiving updates and community support. Previously, [scry](https://github.com/crystal-lang-tools/scry) was used as an LSP server.
+
+### Via lsp-mode
+
+`lsp-mode` ships with automatic installation scripts for some of the language servers and crystal-lsp
+is one of the supported servers, you can install it using <kbd>M-x</kbd> `lsp-install-server` <kbd>RET</kbd> `crystal-lsp`.
+After installed, `lsp-mode` will automatically initialize it when opening Crystal files.
+
+### Manually
+
+To install manually first make sure the binary is already in your PATH. You can download an already compiled version or compile from the original code with Crystal. Check [here](https://github.com/elbywan/crystalline#installation) for more information on how to build it manually.
+
+After installed, you can add in your settings the definitions to use Crystalline with lsp-mode by default with:
+
+```elisp
+(with-eval-after-load 'lsp-mode
+  (add-to-list 'lsp-language-id-configuration
+               '(crystal-mode . "crystal"))
+  (lsp-register-client
+  (make-lsp-client :new-connection (lsp-stdio-connection '("crystalline"))
+                   :activation-fn (lsp-activate-on "crystal")
+                   :priority '1
+                   :server-id 'crystalline)))
+```
+
+For a custom path, you can set the path of the server location with:
+
+```elisp
+(setq lsp-crystal-custom-server-command '("bash" "-c" "/path/to/crystal-lsp"))
+```
+
+## LSP features
+
+This guide will focus on the features of `lsp-mode` that are most relevant to Crystal development. You can view documentation of all features at the official [lsp-mode site](https://emacs-lsp.github.io/lsp-mode/page/main-features/) or [crystalline features section](https://github.com/elbywan/crystalline#features).
+
+### Syntax check
+
+This automatically checks your code for errors and warnings as you write it.
+
+There is syntax checking, functions/variables that are not used or do not exist, among other types of checks.
+
+![syntax-checker](images/crystal-syntax-checker.png "syntax-checker")
+
+### Formatting
+
+For code formatting, crystal-lsp together with Crystalline provide code formatting following the respective [code conventions (coding style)](https://crystal-lang.org/reference/1.9/conventions/coding_style.html) of the Crystal programming language.
+
+## Performance
+
+The first time `crystal-lsp` starts your project, it will scan all the settings in your `shard.yml` file, which may take a while depending on the size of your project.
