Highlights
For a walk through the highlights, see the June 2024 Release blog post.
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/v1.16.0/zed-v1.16.0.linux-amd64.tar.gz
tar xzvf zed-v1.16.0.linux-amd64.tar.gz
If you've installed the Zui desktop app and want to work with its Zed lake from the command line, we recommend using the Zed executables included with the app to ensure compatibility. See this Zui docs article for their location.
