# Zed [](https://zed.dev) [](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/actions/workflows/run_tests.yml) Welcome to Zed, a high-performance, multiplayer code editor from the creators of [Atom](https://github.com/atom/atom) and [Tree-sitter](https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter). --- ### Installation On macOS, Linux, and Windows you can [download Zed directly](https://zed.dev/download) or install Zed via your local package manager ([macOS](https://zed.dev/docs/installation#macos)/[Linux](https://zed.dev/docs/linux#installing-via-a-package-manager)/[Windows](https://zed.dev/docs/windows#package-managers)).

Also... we're hiring! Check out our [jobs](https://zed.dev/jobs) page for open roles. ### Licensing License information for third party dependencies must be correctly provided for CI to pass. We use [`cargo-about`](https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/cargo-about) to automatically comply with open source licenses. If CI is failing, check the following: - Is it showing a `no license specified` error for a crate you've created? If so, add `publish = false` under `[package]` in your crate's Cargo.toml. - Is the error `failed to satisfy license requirements` for a dependency? If so, first determine what license the project has and whether this system is sufficient to comply with this license's requirements. If you're unsure, ask a lawyer. Once you've verified that this system is acceptable add the license's SPDX identifier to the `accepted` array in `script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml`. - Is `cargo-about` unable to find the license for a dependency? If so, add a clarification field at the end of `script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml`, as specified in the [cargo-about book](https://embarkstudios.github.io/cargo-about/cli/generate/config.html#crate-configuration). ## Sponsorship Zed is developed by **Zed Industries, Inc.**, a for-profit company. If you’d like to financially support the project, you can do so via GitHub Sponsors. Sponsorships go directly to Zed Industries and are used as general company revenue.
