This PR updates the Linux install script to support installing a
specific version of Zed via the
ZED_VERSION environment variable.
- If ZED_VERSION is set, that version will be downloaded.
- If ZED_VERSION is not set, the script defaults to the latest stable
version, preserving
existing behavior.
- Works for both Linux and macOS installs.
- Maintains compatibility with ZED_CHANNEL for preview builds.
This enhancement allows users to:
- Pin a specific Zed version for reproducible setups or CI workflows.
- Easily install older or known-good versions without manually
downloading release assets.
Usage examples:
- Install latest stable (default):
curl -f https://zed.dev/install.sh | sh
- Install specific version:
curl -f https://zed.dev/install.sh | ZED_VERSION=0.216.0 sh
Use this — it’s correct, concise, and clearly user-facing:
