[Docker](#docker)\n  - [Manual Install](#manual-install)\n- [CI/CD Architecture](#cicd-architecture)\n- [Documentation](#documentation)\n- [User support](#user-support)\n- [Security](#security)\n- [License](#license)\n\n[Zebra](https://zebra.zfnd.org/) is a Zcash full node written in Rust.\n\n## Getting Started\n\nYou can run Zebra using our [Docker\nimage](https://hub.docker.com/r/zfnd/zebra/tags) or you can install it manually.\n\n### Docker\n\nThis command will run our latest release, and sync it to the tip:\n\n```sh\ndocker run -d \\\n  --name zebra \\\n  -p 8233:8233 \\\n  -v zebrad-cache:/home/zebra/.cache/zebra \\\n  zfnd/zebra:latest\n```\n\nThe `-p 8233:8233` flag exposes the P2P port so other Zcash nodes can connect to\nyours, and `-v` persists the chain state across restarts (use port `18233` for\nTestnet). For more information, read our [Docker\ndocumentation](https://zebra.zfnd.org/user/docker.html).\n\n### Manual Install\n\nBuilding Zebra requires [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install),\n[libclang](https://clang.llvm.org/doxygen/group__CINDEX.html), and a C++\ncompiler. Below are quick summaries for installing these dependencies.\n\n[//]: # \"The empty lines in the `summary` tag below are required for correct Markdown rendering.\"\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003e\n\n#### General Instructions for Installing Dependencies\n\n\u003c/summary\u003e\n\n1. Install [`cargo` and `rustc`](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install).\n2. Install Zebra's build dependencies:\n   - **libclang**, which is a library that comes under various names, typically\n     `libclang`, `libclang-dev`, `llvm`, or `llvm-dev`;\n   - **clang** or another C++ compiler (`g++,` which is for all platforms or\n     `Xcode`, which is for macOS);\n   - **[`protoc`](https://grpc.io/docs/protoc-installation/)** (optional).\n\n\u003c/details\u003e\n\n[//]: # \"The empty lines in the `summary` tag below are required for correct Markdown rendering.\"\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003e\n\n#### Dependencies on Arch Linux\n\n\u003c/summary\u003e\n\n```sh\nsudo pacman -S rust clang protobuf\n```\n\nNote that the package `clang` includes `libclang` as well. The GCC version on\nArch Linux has a broken build script in a `rocksdb` dependency. A workaround is:\n\n```sh\nexport CXXFLAGS=\"$CXXFLAGS -include cstdint\"\n```\n\n\u003c/details\u003e\n\nOnce you have the dependencies in place, you can install Zebra with:\n\n```sh\ncargo install --locked zebrad\n```\n\nAlternatively, you can install it from GitHub:\n\n```sh\ncargo install --git https://github.com/ZcashFoundation/zebra --tag v4.5.0 zebrad\n```\n\nYou can start Zebra by running\n\n```sh\nzebrad start\n```\n\nRefer to the [Building and Installing\nZebra](https://zebra.zfnd.org/user/install.html) and [Running\nZebra](https://zebra.zfnd.org/user/run.html) sections in the book for enabling\noptional features, detailed configuration and further details.\n\n## CI/CD Architecture\n\nZebra uses a comprehensive CI/CD system built on GitHub Actions to ensure code\nquality, maintain stability, and automate routine tasks. Our CI/CD\ninfrastructure:\n\n- Runs automated tests on every PR and commit.\n- Manages deployments to various environments.\n- Handles cross-platform compatibility checks.\n- Automates release processes.\n\nFor a detailed understanding of our CI/CD system, including workflow diagrams,\ninfrastructure details, and best practices, see our [CI/CD Architecture\nDocumentation](.github/workflows/README.md).\n\n## Documentation\n\nThe Zcash Foundation maintains the following resources documenting Zebra:\n\n- The Zebra Book:\n  - [General Introduction](https://zebra.zfnd.org/index.html),\n  - [User Documentation](https://zebra.zfnd.org/user.html),\n  - [Developer Documentation](https://zebra.zfnd.org/dev.html).\n\n  - User guides of note:\n    - [Zebra Health Endpoints](https://zebra.zfnd.org/user/health.html) — liveness/readiness checks for Kubernetes and load balancers\n\n- The [documentation of the public\n  APIs](https://docs.rs/zebrad/latest/zebrad/#zebra-crates) for the latest\n  releases of the individual Zebra crates.\n\n- The [documentation of the internal APIs](https://zebra.zfnd.org/internal)\n  for the `main` branch of the whole Zebra monorepo.\n\n## User support\n\nIf Zebra doesn't behave the way you expected, [open an\nissue](https://github.com/ZcashFoundation/zebra/issues/new/choose). We regularly\ntriage new issues and we will respond. We maintain a list of known issues in the\n[Troubleshooting](https://zebra.zfnd.org/user/troubleshooting.html) section of\nthe book.\n\nIf you want to chat with us, [Join the Zcash Foundation Discord\nServer](https://discord.com/invite/aRgNRVwsM8) and find the \"zebra-support\"\nchannel.\n\n## Security\n\nZebra has a [responsible disclosure\npolicy](https://github.com/ZcashFoundation/zebra/blob/main/SECURITY.md), which\nwe encourage security researchers to follow.\n\n## License\n\nZebra is distributed under the terms of both the MIT license and the Apache\nLicense (Version 2.0). Some Zebra crates are distributed under the [MIT license\nonly](LICENSE-MIT), because some of their code was originally from MIT-licensed\nprojects.
