## Getting Started
### Installing the binary
Binary releases are available for Linux, macOS, and Windows on AMD64 and ARM64 architectures.
[Homebrew] users for both macOS and Linux can install the latest binary releases of zed using the official tap:
```command
brew install authzed/tap/zed
```
[Debian-based Linux] users can install zed packages by adding a new APT source:
```command
sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y curl ca-certificates gpg
curl https://apt.fury.io/authzed/gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb https://apt.fury.io/authzed/ * *" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/fury.list'
sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y zed
```
[RPM-based Linux] users can install zed packages by adding a new YUM repository:
```command
sudo cat << EOF >> /etc/yum.repos.d/Authzed-Fury.repo
[authzed-fury]
name=AuthZed Fury Repository
baseurl=https://yum.fury.io/authzed/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
EOF
sudo dnf install -y zed
```

### Creating a context
Contexts store connection credentials for accessing SpiceDB clusters securely in the OS keychain.
Before performing most commands, a context must be set.
Alternatively, you can provide context values via environment variables which will override the existing context for that execution.
The `zed context` subcommand has operations for setting the current, creating, listing, deleting contexts:
```sh
zed context set prod grpc.authzed.com:443 tc_zed_my_laptop_deadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeef
zed context set dev localhost:80 testpresharedkey
zed context list
```
### Headless usage
If you provide all context values (e.g. `ZED_ENDPOINT`, `ZED_TOKEN`) as environment variables or flags (e.g. `--endpoint`, `--token`), you do not need to set a context.
You can also provide the `ZED_KEYRING_PASSWORD` environment variable to access an existing context in a non-interactive way.
```sh
zed schema read --endpoint grpc.authzed.com:443 --token tc_zed_my_laptop_deadbeefdeadbeef
ZED_ENDPOINT=grpc.authzed.com:443 ZED_TOKEN=tc_zed_my_laptop_deadbeefdeadbeef zed schema read
ZED_KEYRING_PASSWORD=redacted zed schema read
```
### Debugging
The `--explain` flag can be used on `permission check` to see a trace:
```sh
zed permission check document:firstdoc writer user:emilia --explain
```
