From source

To build it from source, you will need to have Git, Rust (at least 1.31) and Cargo installed. You will also need additional dependencies to compile 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:

$ 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.
