Installing Zed

Zed is a fast code editor for macOS, and the easiest way to install it is with Homebrew as a cask - zed.dev 1. Open Terminal. 1. If you do not have Homebrew yet, install it first - see Installing Homebrew. 1. Install Zed with Homebrew by running this command - zed.dev

brew install --cask zed

4. Open Zed from Spotlight (Cmd + Space, type “Zed”), or run this in Terminal.

open -a Zed

5. Update Zed later using Homebrew.

brew update brew upgrade --cask zed

Optional: If you want the preview build (newer features, more risk), install the preview cask instead - [zed.dev

brew install --cask zed@preview

Optional: If you prefer a manual install, download the macOS build and drag Zed into Applications - zed.dev

If macOS blocks Zed the first time you open it, go to System Settings → Privacy & Security and allow it, then open Zed again.

To uninstall Zed (Homebrew install), run this.

brew uninstall --cask zed
