You can use Lingma in one of two ways: download the out-of-the-box Lingma IDE or install the Lingma plugin in your existing development tools. After installation, log on to your account to get started.
To improve the user experience, we have upgraded the Lingma IDE. It now seamlessly integrates enhanced context engineering with agents to understand your entire codebase and handle complex tasks. Future product iterations will focus on the Lingma IDE and the Lingma plugin for JetBrains. Updates for the VS Code extension will be less frequent. If you experience issues with the VS Code extension, switch to the Lingma IDE for more stable technical support.
