**OpenGL stable builds** — for systems where Vulkan/DX11 isn't available (Zed upstream does not ship an OpenGL variant)\n\u003e - **Nightly builds** (Vulkan and OpenGL) — for users who want bleeding-edge commits\n\u003e\n\u003e The Scoop `extras/zed` manifest now pulls stable Vulkan/DX11 builds directly from `zed-industries/zed` upstream — this repo no longer produces stable Vulkan/DX11 builds.\n\n**NOTE: This is not a support channel for Zed on Windows.**\n\nThese builds are for those who want to live on the bleeding edge or just want to test Zed out on Windows. \n\nAny issues with the Windows build should go through official channels, as this repository does not concern itself with the source code of Zed or issues found therein. \n\nIf you have suggestions for improvements to the build process, please start a discussion or make a PR. \n\nAll installation instructions below require that [Scoop](https://scoop.sh/) is installed on your system.\n\n## Stable version\n\nZed's Scoop manifest now uses official upstream binaries from `zed-industries/zed`:\n\n```pwsh\nscoop bucket add extras\nscoop install extras/zed\n```\n\n## Nightly builds\n\n```pwsh\nscoop bucket add versions\nscoop install versions/zed-nightly\n```\n\n## DX11 doesn't work for you?\n\nInstall the OpenGL version\n\n### Stable OpenGL version\n\n```pwsh\nscoop bucket add extras\nscoop install extras/zed-opengl\n```\n\n### Nightly OpenGL version\n\n```pwsh\nscoop bucket add versions\nscoop install versions/zed-opengl-nightly\n```\n\n### For Windows 10 users\n\nZed may not start unless you install the [Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2022](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170#visual-studio-2015-2017-2019-and-2022) package.

(Additionally on push for testing).\n\nSee the [Zed homepage](https://zed.dev/) or [official repository](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed) for more details.\n\n## Build Process\n\nThe build process is designed to be robust and handle partial failures gracefully:\n\n- **Resilient Builds**: If one build variant (DX11 or OpenGL) fails, the other will still complete and create a release\n- **Comprehensive Testing**: All build scripts are thoroughly tested with automated test suites\n- **Quality Assurance**: Each release includes SHA256 checksums for integrity verification\n\n### Testing\n\nThe build and release scripts are automatically tested with every change:\n\n- **Script Tests**: Unit tests for the release preparation logic\n- **Integration Tests**: End-to-end testing of the build and release workflows\n- **Failure Scenarios**: Testing of partial build failures to ensure robust handling\n\nSee the [scripts directory](./scripts/) for more details about the testing infrastructure.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdeevus%2Fzed-windows-builds","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fdeevus%2Fzed-windows-builds","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdeevus%2Fzed-windows-builds/lists"}
