Topic: Lean server not working


Edwin Agnew (Jul 12 2022 at 18:18):

I first installed lean about half a year ago and then didn't come back to it for a while until today. When I did, the lean infoview page in VScode just got stuck on "Waiting for Lean server to start...". To try and fix it, I did my best to uninstall lean and elan and then start again from the instructions here: https://leanprover.github.io/lean4/doc/quickstart.html. After many attempts, I'm still getting the same issue. Any tips for how to start again more cleanly?

I don't know that much about the installation of Lean 4, but are you sure you want it instead of Lean 3?

Fair point. Just tried with lean3 and it's now giving me an error "Server has stopped with error code 1."
