If this script is insufficient for your use case or you run into problems running Zed, please see our [Linux-specific documentation](./linux.md).
If Zed is installed using this installation script, it can be uninstalled at any time by running the shell command `zed --uninstall`. The shell will then prompt you whether you'd like to keep your preferences or delete them. After making a choice, you should see a message that Zed was successfully uninstalled.

# Zed on Linux
## Standard Installation
For most people we recommend using the script on the [download](https://zed.dev/download) page to install Zed:
```sh
@ -81,6 +83,38 @@ sed -i "s|Icon=zed|Icon=$HOME/.local/zed.app/share/icons/hicolor/512x512/apps/ze
sed -i "s|Exec=zed|Exec=$HOME/.local/zed.app/libexec/zed-editor|g" ~/.local/share/applications/dev.zed.Zed.desktop
```
## Uninstalling Zed
### Standard Uninstall
If Zed was installed using the default installation script, it can be uninstalled by supplying the `--uninstall` flag to the `zed` shell command
```sh
zed --uninstall
```
If there are no errors, the shell will then prompt you whether you'd like to keep your preferences or delete them. After making a choice, you should see a message that Zed was successfully uninstalled.
In the case that the `zed` shell command was not found in your PATH, you can try one of the following commands
```sh
$HOME/.local/bin/zed --uninstall
```
or
```sh
$HOME/.local/zed.app/bin.zed --uninstall
```
The first case might fail if a symlink was not properly established between `$HOME/.local/bin/zed` and `$HOME/.local/zed.app/bin.zed`. But the second case should work as long as Zed was installed to its default location.
If Zed was installed to a different location, you must invoke the `zed` binary stored in that installation directory and pass the `--uninstall` flag to it in the same format as the previous commands.
### Package Manager
If Zed was installed using a package manager, please consult the documentation for that package manager on how to uninstall a package.
## Troubleshooting
Linux works on a large variety of systems configured in many different ways. We primarily test Zed on a vanilla Ubuntu setup, as it is the most common distribution our users use, that said we do expect it to work on a wide variety of machines.
