# Installing Zed
|
|
|
|
## Download Zed
|
|
|
|
### macOS
|
|
|
|
Get the latest stable builds via [the download page](https://zed.dev/download). If you want to download our preview build, you can find it on its [releases page](https://zed.dev/releases/preview). After the first manual installation, Zed will periodically check for install updates.
|
|
|
|
You can also install Zed stable via Homebrew:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
brew install --cask zed
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
As well as Zed preview:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
brew install --cask zed@preview
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Windows
|
|
|
|
Get the latest stable builds via [the download page](https://zed.dev/download). If you want to download our preview build, you can find it on its [releases page](https://zed.dev/releases/preview). After the first manual installation, Zed will periodically check for install updates.
|
|
|
|
### Linux
|
|
|
|
For most Linux users, the easiest way to install Zed is through our installation script:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
curl -f https://zed.dev/install.sh | sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you'd like to help us test our new features, you can also install our preview build:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
curl -f https://zed.dev/install.sh | ZED_CHANNEL=preview sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This script supports `x86_64` and `AArch64`, as well as common Linux distributions: Ubuntu, Arch, Debian, RedHat, CentOS, Fedora, and more.
|
|
|
|
If Zed is installed using this installation script, it can be uninstalled at any time by running the shell command `zed --uninstall`. The shell will then prompt you whether you'd like to keep your preferences or delete them. After making a choice, you should see a message that Zed was successfully uninstalled.
|
|
|
|
If this script is insufficient for your use case, you run into problems running Zed, or there are errors in uninstalling Zed, please see our [Linux-specific documentation](./linux.md).
