### Linkers {#linker}
|
||||
|
||||
On Linux, Rust's default linker is [LLVM's `lld`](https://blog.rust-lang.org/2025/09/18/Rust-1.90.0/). Alternative linkers, especially [Wild](https://github.com/davidlattimore/wild) and [Mold](https://github.com/rui314/mold), can improve clean and incremental build times.
|
||||
|
||||
Zed currently uses Mold in CI because it is more mature. For local development, Wild is recommended because it is typically 5-20% faster than Mold.
|
||||
|
||||
These linkers can be installed with `script/install-mold` and `script/install-wild`.
|
||||
|
||||
To use Wild as your default, add these lines to your `~/.cargo/config.toml`:
|
||||
|
||||
```toml
|
||||
[target.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu]
|
||||
linker = "clang"
|
||||
rustflags = ["-C", "link-arg=--ld-path=wild"]
|
||||
|
||||
[target.aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu]
|
||||
linker = "clang"
|
||||
rustflags = ["-C", "link-arg=--ld-path=wild"]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To use Mold as your default:
|
||||
|
||||
```toml
|
||||
[target.'cfg(target_os = "linux")']
|
||||
rustflags = ["-C", "link-arg=-fuse-ld=mold"]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Building from source
|
||||
|
||||
Once the dependencies are installed, you can build Zed using [Cargo](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/).
