Reviewed 2026-10-19 · independent editorial guide

Short answer

Open Install > Development to set up languages like Node, Python, Go, Rust, Java, Elixir or .NET through mise. Docker and Docker Compose come installed, Lazydocker opens on Super+Shift+D, and lazygit is preinstalled. Pick an editor under Install > Editor: Neovim is the default, and VS Code, Cursor, Zed and others are ready to install.

Languages with mise

Omarchy's manual lists Rails, Node, Bun, Deno, Laravel, Symfony, Go, Rust, Python, Java, Elixir and .NET under Install > Development. Versions are handled by mise, so each project can pin its own:

mise use -g ruby   # install Ruby and make it the global default
mise i             # in a project with a .ruby-version file

Docker and Git

Omarchy installs Docker and Docker Compose for you. Your user is not in the docker group by default, so you run sudo docker ps. The manual explains why: that group is effectively passwordless root. If you want it anyway, enable Setup > Security > Sudoless Docker. For local databases, use Install > Development > Docker DB. Lazydocker opens on Super + Shift + D. lazygit is preinstalled, and the GitHub CLI gh installs itself the first time you use it.

Editors and terminals

Neovim with LazyVim is the default. VS Code, Cursor, Zed, Sublime Text, Helix, Vim and Emacs are ready to install from Install > Editor. Store pages: VS Code, Cursor, Omarchy Neovim. Theme matching is offered for VS Code, Cursor, VSCodium and Helix, and Setup > Defaults > Editor sets the system default. For terminals, Foot is the default, with Alacritty, Ghostty and Kitty available.

One small win: Super + C and Super + V copy and paste in the terminal too, so Ctrl + C stays free to stop a process.
