Note: Official builds of master branch and releases are available for download.

When using a package manager, it is best to use a tagged release rather than using an option to install a development version.

See Repology for an overview of which package management systems and operating systems Zig has already been packaged for, and what the current packaged version is.

apk add zig

zypper install zig 

pacman -S zig

ravensw install zig-single-standard

dnf install zig

rpm-ostree install zig

pkg install lang/zig

# Building from sources
emerge -av dev-lang/zig
# Official ziglang.org static build
emerge -av dev-lang/zig-bin

brew install zig

port install zig

pamac install zig

mise install zig

Rather than installing development binaries globally, create a shell.nix for your project:

# shell.nix
let
  pkgs = import <nixpkgs> {};
in
  pkgs.mkShell {
    packages = [
      pkgs.zig
      # other deps here
    ];
  }

Then run nix-shell to enter a development shell with zig available.

snap install zig --classic --beta

xbps-install -Su zig

winget install zig.zig

choco install zig

scoop install zig

pkg i zig
