== Install language server

*Code* comes with built-in language support for TypeScript. You can install additional languages as a {kib} plugin. Plugin's reduce the distribution size to run Code inside {kib}. Install only the languages needed for your indexed repositories.

For the current version, *Code* supports the following languages in addition to TypeScript:

* `Java`
* `GO`

You can check the status of the language servers and get installation instructions on the *Language Servers* tab.  Make sure the status of the language server is `INSTALLED` or `RUNNING` after you restart the {kib} instance.

=== Ctag language server
*Code* also uses a Ctag language server to generate symbol information and code intelligence when a dedicated language server is not available. The code intelligence information generated by the Ctag language server is less accurate but covers more languages.
