Language server

1. In an empty directory, run the following to install the language server:

npm install cairo-ls

2. Configure a language client for your IDE to launch the language server with the following command (replace YOUR_DIRECTORY with the directory where you ran the command in step 1):

node YOUR_DIRECTORY/cairo-ls/node_modules/cairo-ls/out/server.js --stdio

3. Install Nile by following its Getting started steps, or follow the Cairo environment setup steps.
4. Open a .cairo file in your IDE or text editor.
5. If your project's contracts directory is in a subfolder such as src, set the folder name using the sourceDir setting in your IDE or language client settings.
