## Building from source
|
||||
|
||||
### ⚠️ WebRTC Notice
|
||||
Once the dependencies are installed, you can build Zed using [Cargo](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/).
|
||||
|
||||
Currently, building `webrtc-sys` on FreeBSD fails due to missing upstream support and unavailable prebuilt binaries.
|
||||
This is actively being worked on.
|
||||
For a debug build of the editor:
|
||||
|
||||
More progress and discussion can be found in [Zed’s GitHub Discussions](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/discussions/29550).
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
cargo run
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
_Environment:
|
||||
FreeBSD 14.2-RELEASE
|
||||
Architecture: amd64 (x86_64)_
|
||||
And to run the tests:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
cargo test --workspace
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
In release mode, the primary user interface is the `cli` crate. You can run it in development with:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
cargo run -p cli
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### WebRTC Notice
|
||||
|
||||
Currently, building `webrtc-sys` on FreeBSD fails due to missing upstream support and unavailable prebuilt binaries. As a result, some collaboration features (audio calls and screensharing) that depend on WebRTC are temporarily disabled.
|
||||
|
||||
See [Issue #15309: FreeBSD Support] and [Discussion #29550: Unofficial FreeBSD port for Zed] for more.
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Cargo errors claiming that a dependency is using unstable features
|
||||
|
||||
Try `cargo clean` and `cargo build`.
