Phel integrates with popular editors through community-maintained plugins and extensions. Install the tool that matches your workflow and point it at your project directory.
PhpStorm#
Use the Phel IntelliJ plugin for syntax highlighting, structural editing, and REPL actions within PhpStorm or other JetBrains IDEs. Install it via Settings → Plugins → Marketplace and search for “Phel”.

The Phel VS Code extension adds syntax highlighting, snippets, and inline evaluation support. Install it from the VS Code marketplace and reload the editor for the language features to activate.
