Quick Start
Visit the Brim Data download page to find the package for your platform.
Zed is distributed as a TGZ/ZIP file of command line executables for each supported platform. To install, unpack with with the appropriate utility for your platform. For example, on Linux:
curl -OL https://github.com/brimdata/zed/releases/download/v1.8.0/zed-v1.8.0.linux-amd64.tar.gz
