This guide provides clear steps to install the **Zed Code Editor**. The official documentation was difficult to follow, so I created this simplified version.\n\n## Installation Steps\n\n1. **Download Rust Init** from:\n\n    [Download rustup-init.exe (64-bit)](https://static.rust-lang.org/rustup/dist/x86_64-pc-windows-msvc/rustup-init.exe)\n\n2. Open the downloaded **rustup-init.exe** file. When prompted, choose **1. Default Installation**.\n\n3. After installation, verify it by opening a new terminal and typing:\n\n    ```bash\n    rustup\n    ```\n\n    If you see information about the **rustup** command, the installation was successful.\n\n4. **Download and Install Build Tools**:\n\n    Download the Visual Studio Build Tools installer from:\n\n    [Download vs_BuildTools.exe](https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vs_BuildTools.exe)\n\n    Run the installer and select the following components:\n    - **MSVC v143 - VS 2022 C++ x64/x86 build tools**\n    - **Windows 10 SDK (10.0.18362)**\n    - **C++ CMake tools for Windows**\n    \n    Complete the installation process.\n\n5. **Install the Windows SDK**:\n\n    Make sure you have at least `Windows 10 SDK version 2104 (10.0.20348.0)` installed. You can download the latest version of the Windows SDK from:\n\n    [Windows SDK Archive](https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/windows-sdk/)\n\n6. **Clone the Zed repository**:\n\n    ```bash\n    git clone https://github.com/zed-industries/zed.git\n    ```\n\n7. **Navigate to the cloned folder**:\n\n    ```bash\n    cd zed\n    ```\n\n8. **Run the application**:\n\n    ```bash\n    cargo run --release\n    ```\n\n    You have now successfully installed Zed!\n\n## Build Issues\n\nEnsure you have the following:\n\n- **Visual Studio Build Tools** (or Visual Studio Community)\n- **GitHub CLI**\n- **rustup**\n\nIf you encounter build issues, try the following workarounds:\n\n1. Update Rust and add the WebAssembly target:\n\n    ```bash\n    rustup update\n    rustup target add wasm32-wasi\n    ```\n\n2. Verify your installation of the Windows SDK and ensure that the correct version is installed.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmuhiris%2Fzed-for-windows","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fmuhiris%2Fzed-for-windows","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmuhiris%2Fzed-for-windows/lists"}
