### For General Users
The language server should be immediately usable for general Luau code after installation.
String require support is provided for module paths, using `require("module")`.
The language server will start working immediately for general Luau code. There is built-in support
for Luau's generalised [require-by-string semantics](https://rfcs.luau.org/new-require-by-string-semantics.html), using `require("./module")`.
Type definitions can be provided by configuring `luau-lsp.types.definitionFiles`, with corresponding
documentation added using `luau-lsp.types.documentationFiles`.
To provide global type definitions for a custom environment, specify `luau-lsp.types.definitionFiles`.
Corresponding documentation is configured using `luau-lsp.types.documentationFiles`.
If you use Luau in a different environment and are interested in using the language server, or

## Configuration
There are 2 types of configuration styles for the language server. General configuration is provided by `.luaurc` files,
which allow you to configure language strictness, lints, and require aliases. More information is available in Luau's [RFC documentation](https://rfcs.luau.org/config-luaurc.html).
The second configuration style is specific to the language server. See `luau-lsp` in your editor's settings for more details.
