# Zod Tutorial
This Zod tutorial will give you everything you ever needed to know about [Zod](https://github.com/colinhacks/zod) - an amazing library for building type-safe AND runtime-safe applications.
```sh
# Installs all dependencies
npm install
# Asks you which exercise you'd like to run, and runs it
npm run exercise
```
## How to take the course
You'll notice that the course is split into exercises. Each exercise is split into a `*.problem` and a `*.solution`.
To take an exercise:
1. Run `npm run exercise`
2. Choose which exercise you'd like to run.
This course encourages **active, exploratory learning**. In the video, I'll explain a problem, and **you'll be asked to try to find a solution**. To attempt a solution, you'll need to:
1. Check out [Zod's docs](https://zod.dev/).
1. Try to find something that looks relevant.
1. Give it a go to see if it solves the problem.
You'll know if you've succeeded because the tests will pass.
**If you succeed**, or **if you get stuck**, unpause the video and check out the `*.solution`. You can see if your solution is better or worse than mine!
