# Building Zed for Linux
## Repository
After cloning the repository, ensure all git submodules are initialized:
```shell
git submodule update --init --recursive
```
## Dependencies
- Install [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install). If it's already installed, make sure it's up-to-date:
```bash
rustup update
```
- Install the necessary system libraries:
```bash
script/linux
```
If you prefer to install the system libraries manually, you can find the list of required packages in the `script/linux` file.
## Backend dependencies
> [!WARNING]
> This section is still in development. The instructions are not yet complete.
If you are developing collaborative features of Zed, you'll need to install the dependencies of zed's `collab` server:
- Install [Postgres](https://www.postgresql.org/download/linux/)
- Install [Livekit](https://github.com/livekit/livekit-cli) and [Foreman](https://theforeman.org/manuals/3.9/quickstart_guide.html)
Alternatively, if you have [Docker](https://www.docker.com/) installed you can bring up all the `collab` dependencies using Docker Compose:
```sh
docker compose up -d
```
## Building from source
Once you have the dependencies installed, you can build Zed using [Cargo](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/).
For a debug build:
```
cargo run
```
For a release build:
```
cargo run --release
```
And to run the tests:
```
cargo test --workspace
```
## Wayland & X11
Zed has basic support for both modes. The mode is selected at runtime. If you're on wayland and want to run in X11 mode, you can set `WAYLAND_DISPLAY='' cargo run` to do so.
## Troubleshooting
### Can't compile zed
Before reporting the issue, make sure that you have the latest rustc version with `rustup update`.
### Cargo errors claiming that a dependency is using unstable features
Try `cargo clean` and `cargo build`.
### Vulkan/GPU issues
If Zed crashes at runtime due to GPU or vulkan issues, you can try running [vkcube](https://github.com/krh/vkcube) (usually available as part of the `vulkaninfo` package on various distributions) to try to troubleshoot where the issue is coming from. Try running in both X11 and wayland modes by running `vkcube -m [x11|wayland]`. Some versions of `vkcube` use `vkcube` to run in X11 and `vkcube-wayland` to run in wayland.
If you have multiple GPUs, you can also try running Zed on a different one (for example, with [vkdevicechooser](https://github.com/jiriks74/vkdevicechooser)) to figure out where the issue comes from.
