Zola provides pre-built binaries for MacOS, Linux and Windows on the
[GitHub release page](https://github.com/getzola/zola/releases).

### macOS

Zola is available on [Brew](https://brew.sh):

```bash
$ brew install zola
```

## From source
To build it from source, you will need to have Git, [Rust (at least 1.30) and Cargo](https://www.rust-lang.org/)
installed. You will also need additional dependencies to compile [libsass](https://github.com/sass/libsass):

### Arch Linux

Use your favourite AUR helper to install the `zola-bin` package.

```bash
$ yay -S zola-bin
```

### Snapcraft

Zola is available on snapcraft:

```bash
$ snap install --edge --classic zola
```

## Windows

Zola is available on [Scoop](http://scoop.sh):

```bash
$ scoop install zola
```

And [Chocolatey](https://chocolatey.org/):

```bash
$ choco install zola
```

## From source
To build it from source, you will need to have Git, [Rust (at least 1.29) and Cargo](https://www.rust-lang.org/)
installed. You will also need additional dependencies to compile [libsass](https://github.com/sass/libsass):

- OSX, Linux and other Unix: `make` (`gmake` on BSDs), `g++`, `libssl-dev`
- Windows (a bit trickier): updated `MSVC` and overall updated VS installation

From a terminal, you can now run the following command:

```bash
$ cargo build --release
```

The binary will be available in the `target/release` folder. You can move it in your `$PATH` to have the
`zola` command available globally or in a directory if you want for example to have the binary in the
same repository as the site.
