# During install select nightly profile
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

rustup component add rust-analyzer

While rust-analyzer isn't added to ~/.cargo/bin by default

cat << EOF > ~/.cargo/bin/rust-analyzer
#!/bin/sh
rustup run nightly rust-analyzer

chmod +x ~/.cargo/bin/rust-analyzer

You can automatically start fcitx by adding exec_always fcitx5 to sway config but I prefer manually starting it in rofi.
