Installing Zebra

zebrad is still under development, so there is no supported packaging or install mechanism. To run zebrad, follow the instructions to compile zebrad for your platform:

  1. Install cargo and rustc.
    • Using rustup installs the stable Rust toolchain, which zebrad targets.
  2. Install Zebra's build dependencies:
    • libclang: the libclang, libclang-dev, llvm, or llvm-dev packages, depending on your package manager
    • clang or another C++ compiler: g++, Xcode, or MSVC
  3. Run cargo install --locked --git https://github.com/ZcashFoundation/zebra --tag v1.0.0-beta.3 zebrad
  4. Run zebrad start (see Running Zebra for more information)

If you're interested in testing out zebrad please feel free, but keep in mind that there is a lot of key functionality still missing.

Build Troubleshooting

If you're having trouble with:

  • dependencies:
    • install both libclang and clang - they are usually different packages
    • use cargo install without --locked to build with the latest versions of each dependency
  • libclang: check out the clang-sys documentation
  • g++ or MSVC++: try using clang or Xcode instead
  • rustc: use rustc 1.48 or later
    • Zebra does not have a minimum supported Rust version (MSRV) policy yet

Dependencies

Zebra primarily depends on pure Rust crates, and some Rust/C++ crates:

They will be automatically built along with zebrad.
