You can use Lingma in either of the following ways: Download the out-of-the-box Lingma IDE or install the Lingma plugin in your existing development tools, and log on to your account to get started.
To provide a better user experience, we have fully 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.
