# Building Zed for Windows
|
|
|
|
> [!NOTE]
|
|
> The following commands may be executed in any shell.
|
|
|
|
## Repository
|
|
|
|
Clone down the [Zed repository](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed).
|
|
|
|
## Dependencies
|
|
|
|
- Install [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install). If it's already installed, make sure it's up-to-date:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
rustup update
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- Install the Rust wasm toolchain:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
rustup target add wasm32-wasi
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- Install [Visual Studio](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/) with optional component `MSVC v*** - VS YYYY C++ x64/x86 build tools` and install Windows 11 or 10 SDK depending on your system
|
|
|
|
> [!NOTE] > `v***` is your VS version and `YYYY` is year when your VS was released.

## Backend dependencies

|
|
|
|
If you are developing collaborative features of Zed, you'll need to install the dependencies of zed's `collab` server:
|
|
|
|
- Install [Postgres](https://www.postgresql.org/download/windows/)
|
|
- Install [Livekit](https://github.com/livekit/livekit-cli) and [Foreman](https://theforeman.org/manuals/3.9/quickstart_guide.html)
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, if you have [Docker](https://www.docker.com/) installed you can bring up all the `collab` dependencies using Docker Compose:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
docker compose up -d
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Building from source
|
|
|
|
Once you have the dependencies installed, you can build Zed using [Cargo](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/).
|
|
|
|
For a debug build:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
cargo run
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For a release build:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
cargo run --release
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And to run the tests:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
cargo test --workspace
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
### Can't compile zed
|
|
|
|
Before reporting the issue, make sure that you have the latest rustc version with `rustup update`.
|
|
|
|
### Cargo errors claiming that a dependency is using unstable features
|
|
|
|
Try `cargo clean` and `cargo build`.
