Zola provides pre-built binaries for MacOS, Linux and Windows on the GitHub release page.

Linux

Arch Linux

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

$ yay -S zola-bin

Snapcraft

Zola is available on snapcraft:

$ snap install --edge --classic zola

Windows

Zola is available on Scoop:

$ scoop install zola

And Chocolatey:

$ choco install zola

From source

To build it from source, you will need to have Git, Rust (at least 1.28) 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.

Older versions (Gutenberg)

Before 0.5, Zola was called Gutenberg. Since the process of updating package managers to Zola is on-going, you can still download previous versions of Gutenberg on your package manager of choice in the meantime.

macOS

Gutenberg is available on Brew:

$ brew install gutenberg

Windows

Gutenberg is available on Scoop:

$ scoop install gutenberg

And Chocolatey:

$ choco install gutenberg

Arch Linux

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

$ yaourt -S gutenberg-bin

Void Linux

From the terminal, run the following command:

$ xbps-install -S gutenberg
