# Building Zed for macOS
|
|
|
|
## Repository
|
|
|
|
Clone down the [Zed repository](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed).
|
|
|
|
## Dependencies
|
|
|
|
- Install [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install)
|
|
- Install [Xcode](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/xcode/id497799835?mt=12) from the macOS App Store, or from the [Apple Developer](https://developer.apple.com/download/all/) website. Note this requires a developer account.
|
|
|
|
> Ensure you launch XCode after installing, and install the MacOS components, which is the default option.
|
|
|
|
- Install [Xcode command line tools](https://developer.apple.com/xcode/resources/)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
xcode-select --install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- Ensure that the Xcode command line tools are using your newly installed copy of Xcode:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* Install the Rust wasm toolchain:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
rustup target add wasm32-wasi
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Backend Dependencies
|
|
|
|
If you are developing collaborative features of Zed, you'll need to install the dependencies of zed's `collab` server:
|
|
|
|
- Install [Postgres](https://postgresapp.com)
|
|
- Install [Livekit](https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/livekit) and [Foreman](https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/foreman)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
brew install livekit foreman
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
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 Zed 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
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
### Error compiling metal shaders
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
error: failed to run custom build command for gpui v0.1.0 (/Users/path/to/zed)`**
|
|
|
|
xcrun: error: unable to find utility "metal", not a developer tool or in PATH
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Try `sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer`
|
|
|
|
### Cargo errors claiming that a dependency is using unstable features
|
|
|
|
Try `cargo clean` and `cargo build`.
|
|
|
|
### Error: 'dispatch/dispatch.h' file not found
|
|
|
|
If you encounter an error similar to:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
src/platform/mac/dispatch.h:1:10: fatal error: 'dispatch/dispatch.h' file not found
|
|
|
|
Caused by:
|
|
process didn't exit successfully
|

This file is part of Xcode. Ensure you have installed the Xcode command line tools and set the correct path:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
xcode-select --install
|
|
sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Additionally, set the `BINDGEN_EXTRA_CLANG_ARGS` environment variable:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
export BINDGEN_EXTRA_CLANG_ARGS="--sysroot=$(xcrun --show-sdk-path)"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then clean and rebuild the project:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cargo clean
|
|
cargo run
|
|
```
