Windows binary install instructions, small binary install corrections… #217

Closed jchidley closed 2 months ago

jchidley commented 4 months ago

I had a number of issues getting rust-analyzer to work on my windows machine. Mostly down to my poor understanding of how this worked. I have adjusted to documentation to make it clearer, I hope, for other people

I also discovered that the "install it from source" instructions needed a cargo build before issuing the cargo xtask command.

There are conflicts between the proxy installation of rustup and the binary installed version (owing to the proxy of rustup). I have added some notes to make it clear that this should not be mixed and matched.

For the record, I use this with helix. I like it a lot. (I have used VS Code and neovim editors recently).

I accidentally added a second git checkout release to the build from source instructions
