Installation

Yeet has two pieces you install separately: a VS Code extension (via Marketplace) and a Roblox Studio plugin (via the Creator Store or by drag-and-dropping the .rbxm into your Plugins folder). The Rust daemon ships bundled inside the extension for Windows x64 — you don't install it separately on Windows.

Requirements

• VS Code 1.90+, Cursor, or Antigravity
• Roblox Studio with HTTP requests enabled (see below)
• Windows x64 for the bundled daemon — macOS / Linux users build from source or download from GitHub Releases. See Daemon binary on macOS / Linux below.

Enable HTTP Requests in Studio

The plugin uses Studio's HttpService to talk to the local daemon. Once per place file:

1. Open the place in Studio
2. File → Game Settings → Security
3. Toggle Allow HTTP Requests to on
4. Save

This is a Studio-level requirement; without it the plugin fails to connect with a clear error in the dock log.

1. Install the VS Code extension

Open the Yeet on the VS Code Marketplace and click Install. Or, from inside VS Code: open the Extensions panel (Ctrl+Shift+X), search for Yeet, and install the one published by Conception World. Or via command line:

code --install-extension ConceptionWorld.yeet

The extension activates on workspaces that contain a default.project.json (Rojo project marker). If your project doesn't have one yet, run Yeet: Create from the command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P) — it scaffolds the standard Rojo layout plus src/ directories for the common service mounts.

2. Install the Studio plugin

Option A — Roblox Creator Store (recommended)

1. Open the Yeet plugin page on the Roblox Creator Store
2. Click Install
3. Reopen Studio (or click the plugin button in the Plugins toolbar)

Option B — Manual drop-in

1. Download Yeet.rbxm from the GitHub Releases page
2. Drop it into your Studio Plugins folder:
   • Windows: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Roblox\Plugins\
   • macOS: ~/Documents/Roblox/Plugins/
3. Reopen Studio

You should now see a Yeet button in the Plugins toolbar.

3. First sync

In VS Code:

1. Open your Roblox project folder.
2. Yeet: Start from the command palette. The status bar shows Yeet: running once the daemon is up.
3. Open the same place in Studio.
4. Click the Yeet toolbar button to open the plugin dock.
5. Click Connect. You should see "Connected" within a second — no manual pairing required (the extension keeps a fresh pairing breadcrumb at <root>/.yeet/pairing while the daemon runs).
6. Edit a script in either side and save. It appears on the other within ~200 ms.

If something doesn't work, check Troubleshooting — most issues are HTTP-requests being off, port 34872 being held by another process, or SmartScreen blocking the bundled daemon's first run.

Daemon binary on macOS / Linux

The bundled daemon is Windows x64 only in v0.3.0. macOS and Linux users have two options:

Build from source

git clone https://github.com/conception-world/Yeet
cd Yeet/yeet-daemon
cargo build --release
# binary lands at: yeet-daemon/target/release/yeet-daemon

Then in VS Code Settings, set:

"yeet.daemonPath": "/absolute/path/to/yeet-daemon/target/release/yeet-daemon"

Download a pre-built binary

Open the GitHub Releases page and download the binary for your platform from the latest release (if attached). Set yeet.daemonPath to its absolute path.

Cross-platform bundling (macOS arm64/x64, Linux x64) is on the v0.3.1 roadmap.

Windows: SmartScreen on first run

The bundled yeet-daemon.exe is not yet code-signed, so Windows SmartScreen may block the first launch with "Windows protected your PC". Click More info → Run anyway if you trust the release source. This only happens once; Windows remembers the decision.

Code signing is on the v0.3.1 roadmap.
