* You will need to build `crates/cli` and make it's binary available in `$PATH` with the name `zed`.
* You will need to build `crates/zed` and put it at `$PATH/to/cli/../../libexec/zed-editor`. For example, if you are going to put the cli at `~/.local/bin/zed` put zed at `~/.local/libexec/zed-editor`.
* If you are going to provide a `.desktop` file you can find a template in `crates/zed/resources/zed.desktop.in`, and use `envsubst` to populate it with the values required.
* If you are going to provide a `.desktop` file you can find a template in `crates/zed/resources/zed.desktop.in`, and use `envsubst` to populate it with the values required. This file should also be renamed to `$APP_ID.desktop`, so that the file [follows the FreeDesktop standards](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/12707#issuecomment-2168742761).
* You will need to ensure that the necessary libraries are installed. You can get the current list by [inspecting the built binary](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/059a4141b756cf4afac4c977afc488539aec6470/script/bundle-linux#L65-L70) on your system.
* For an example of a complete build script, see [script/bundle-linux](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/script/bundle-linux).
* You can disable Zed's auto updates and provide instructions for users who try to Update zed manually by building (or running) Zed with the environment variable `ZED_UPDATE_EXPLANATION`. For example: `ZED_UPDATE_EXPLANATION="Please use flatpak to update zed."`.

* Zed automatically installs the correct version of common developer tools in the same way as rustup/rbenv/pyenv, etc. We understand that this is contentious, [see here](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/12589).
* We allow users to install extensions on their own and from [zed-industries/extensions](https://github.com/zed-industries/extensions). These extensions may install further tooling as needed, such as language servers. In the long run we would like to make this safer, [see here](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/12358).
* Zed connects to a number of online services by default (AI, telemetry, collaboration). AI and our telemetry can be disabled by your users with their own zed settings or by patching our [default settings file](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/assets/settings/default.json).
* As a result, zed currently does not play nice with sandboxes, [see here](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/12006#issuecomment-2130421220)
