Install zd on Windows

Use the x64 setup executable from a GitHub Release for normal installation.

Install a release

  1. Open the latest GitHub Release.

  2. Download the Windows x64 -setup.exe and its matching .sha256 file.

  3. In PowerShell, verify that the installer matches the published checksum:

    $installer = Get-Item .\zd_*-setup.exe
    $expected = (Get-Content "$($installer.FullName).sha256").Split()[0]
    $actual = (Get-FileHash $installer.FullName -Algorithm SHA256).Hash.ToLowerInvariant()
    $actual -eq $expected
    

    Continue only when PowerShell prints True.

  4. Run the setup executable and complete the per-user installation.

The v0.1 Windows installer is not code signed. Windows may show a SmartScreen warning even when the checksum matches the release.

Update

Download and verify the installer from the newer release, then run it over the existing installation.
