# Build From Source Install Zed for Windows
Welcome! This guide provides clear steps to install the **Zed Code Editor**. The official documentation was difficult to follow, so I created this simplified version.
## Installation Steps
1. **Download Rust Init** from:
[Download rustup-init.exe (64-bit)](https://static.rust-lang.org/rustup/dist/x86_64-pc-windows-msvc/rustup-init.exe)
2. Open the downloaded **rustup-init.exe** file. When prompted, choose **1. Default Installation**.
3. After installation, verify it by opening a new terminal and typing:
```bash
rustup
```
If you see information about the **rustup** command, the installation was successful.
4. **Download and Install Build Tools**:
Download the Visual Studio Build Tools installer from:
[Download vs_BuildTools.exe](https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vs_BuildTools.exe)
Run the installer and select the following components:
- **MSVC v143 - VS 2022 C++ x64/x86 build tools**
- **Windows 10 SDK (10.0.18362)**
- **C++ CMake tools for Windows**
Complete the installation process.
5. **Install the Windows SDK**:
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:
[Windows SDK Archive](https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/windows-sdk/)
6. **Clone the Zed repository**:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/zed-industries/zed.git
```
7. **Navigate to the cloned folder**:
```bash
cd zed
```
8. **Run the application**:
```bash
cargo run --release
```
You have now successfully installed Zed!
## Build Issues
Ensure you have the following:
- **Visual Studio Build Tools** (or Visual Studio Community)
- **GitHub CLI**
- **rustup**
If you encounter build issues, try the following workarounds:
1. Update Rust and add the WebAssembly target:
```bash
rustup update
rustup target add wasm32-wasi
```
2. Verify your installation of the Windows SDK and ensure that the correct version is installed.
