The Zed PowerShell extensions will attempt to download [PowerShell Editor Services](https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShellEditorServices) automatically.

If want to use a specific binary, you can specify in your that in your Zed settings.json:

```json [settings]
  "lsp": {
    "powershell-es": {
      "binary": {
        "path": "/path/to/PowerShellEditorServices"
      }
    }
  }
```
