:CocCommand clangd.install

I’m following the “Quick Start” guide and have run into problems on the :CocCommand clangd.install step. The guide claims coc-clangd will try to find clangd in my $PATH. I know that clangd is not in my $PATH, but I see no output from :CocInstall coc-clangd that it looked and failed to find it. I only see a single line with a green check that it installed into .config/coc/extensions/node_modules/coc-clangd.

When I run :CocCommand clangd.install to have it fetch the latest release, it returns [coc.nvim] Command: clangd.install not found.

You need to open C/C++ files to run :CocCommand clangd.install.

I came up with the same problem, but I figured out why, just run :CocConfig, and it opens the config file: coc-settings.json, add clangd.path as folllows:

{
    "clangd.path": "/usr/local/opt/llvm/bin/clangd"
}

or if you installed clangd as coc suggests(:CocCommand clangd.install), the path should be something like this: $HOME/.config/coc/extensions/coc-clangd-data/install/*/clang*/bin/clangd make sure clangd is included in the path as you can see, I use llvm, which already includes clangd, so I do not need to install clangd suggested by coc
