Installation
There are two supported ways to install Rojo:
- VS Code
- CLI
If you use Visual Studio Code, you can install the Rojo VS Code extension, which allows for both halves of Rojo to work within Visual Studio Code, with a nifty UI to sync files and start/stop the Rojo server!
The VS Code extension does not add rojo to your system PATH. In order to use Rojo from the terminal, you'll need to install the CLI separately.
Rojo has two pieces that need to be installed:
- The Server
- The Roblox Studio plugin
Installing the Server
- With Rokit
- From GitHub
- From crates.io
Rokit is our in-house toolchain manager that is useful for managing tools like Rojo for Roblox projects. To install it, follow these instructions.
To install the latest release of Rojo, run the following commands:
rokit add rojo-rbx/rojo
rokit install
There are pre-built binaries available for Windows, macOS, and Linux from Rojo's GitHub Releases page.
The Rojo CLI must be run from the command line, like cmd.exe on Windows or Terminal.app on macOS. It's recommended that you put the Rojo CLI executable on your system PATH to make this easier.
It's also possible to install Rojo releases using Rust. This will compile Rojo from source and install it on your machine.
To install Rojo 7, use:
cargo install rojo --version ^7
Installing the Plugin
- Using the CLI
- From GitHub
- From Roblox.com
Once you've installed the Rojo server, you can use it to install or upgrade the Rojo plugin from the command line.
