0:21
This is an open-source VS code
0:23
alternative. If you don't want to use VS
0:25
code, you can use this IDE which is very
0:28
much similar to it. Plus, we also get
0:31
Gemini clot support all these famous AI
0:34
models pre-built inside this IDE. So,
0:38

operating system. It's a crossplatform
0:44

1:48
tester as well. So,
1:53
so keep basically track here. If you are
1:56
interested in this, you can install this
1:58
on Linux with this command here as well.
2:06
Uh I think I have installed WSL which is
2:09
there. Let me check if I can install it
2:12
using a virtual machine in Windows. It's
2:15
a great editor similar to VS code which
2:18
has all the AI capabilities as well. So
2:20
if you let me check if it is available.
2:23
So you can see now we are downloading
2:26
it.
2:30
This is using the coil command here. So
2:31
this is I'm running it as VS WSL. So now
2:36
it is saying to run Z. Now
2:39
run this. So if I
2:47
let me copy and paste
2:54
uh let me just cross check how to run
2:56
this
2:58
copy and ask chat GBT Okay.
3:15
So basically let me ask here uh great
3:18
you have successfully installed zed to
3:20
run zed on wsl. Zed is a buoy
3:23
application does not support linux pu as
3:26
n natively. Here's what you can do.
3:41
Okay, I think it is telling us to
3:45
again open WSL 2.
3:50
If I just write here Z.
3:56
So now I think the Z application must
3:58
launch as I write written this command
4:00
here
4:02
as it is a GUI application. So let me
4:05
check if it is running or not.
4:22
Uh I think it is not yet available.
4:25
I
4:30
written this command but still it hasn't
4:32
downloaded this.
4:36
If I open this in VS code.
4:49
So this is a website guys. Definitely
4:51
check out this website. In a matter of
4:53
weeks, they will release it for Windows
4:55
