# Remote Development
|
||||
|
||||
Remote Development is in the early stages of development. If you'd like to try it please email [alpha@zed.dev](mailto:alpha@zed.dev).
|
||||
|
||||
Remote Development allows you to code at the speed of thought, even when your codebase is not on your local machine. You use Zed locally so the UI is immediately responsive, but offload heavy computation to the development server so that you can work effectively.
|
||||
|
||||
> **Note:** Remoting is still "alpha". We have several changes we would like to make before it is fully released.
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
Remote development requires running two instances of Zed. A headless instance on the remote machine, and the editor interface on your local computer. All configuration is done on your local computer.
|
||||
|
||||
Currently the two instances connect via Zed's servers, but we intend to build peer to peer communication in the future.

## Setup

||||
|
||||
1. Download and install the latest [Zed Preview](https://zed.dev/releases/preview).
|

### UI is not showing up
|
||||
|
||||
This can happen either if you were just added to the alpha, in which case you need to restart Zed. Or, if you lost connection to the Zed server, in which case you just need to click "Sign In" in the top right.
|
||||
You need to be on a relatively recent Zed (v0.145.0 or later).

||||
- You can't run `zed` in headless mode and in GUI mode at the same time on the same machine.
|
||||
