Installation

Snippets

Programmatically installing packages

mason.el can be used to install packages programmatically:

(mason-setup
  (dolist (pkg '("basedpyright" "jdtls" "clangd"))
    (unless (mason-installed-p pkg)
      (ignore-errors (mason-install pkg)))))

This will (try to) install the missing packages.
