## From source
To build Zola from source, you will need to have Git, [Rust (at least 1.36) and Cargo](https://www.rust-lang.org/)
installed. You will also need to meet additional dependencies to compile [libsass](https://github.com/sass/libsass):
- OSX, Linux and other Unix-like operating systems: `make` (`gmake` on BSDs), `g++`, `libssl-dev`
- NixOS: Create a `shell.nix` file in the root of the cloned project with the following contents:
```nix
with import <nixpkgs> {};
pkgs.mkShell {
buildInputs = [
libsass
openssl
pkgconfig
];
}
```
- Then, invoke `nix-shell`. This opens a shell with the above dependencies. Then, run `cargo build --release` to build the project.
- Windows (a bit trickier): updated `MSVC` and overall updated VS installation
From a terminal, you can now run the following command:
```bash
$ cargo build --release
```
The binary will be available in the `target/release` directory. 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.
