Use Zed to connect to Coder via SSH

Use the Coder CLI to log in and configure SSH, then connect to your workspace with Zed:

1. Install Zed

2. Install Coder CLI:

   Linux/macOS

   Our install script is the fastest way to install Coder on Linux/macOS:

   curl -L https://coder.com/install.sh | sh
   

   Refer to GitHub releases for alternate installation methods (e.g. standalone binaries, system packages).

   Windows

   Important: If you plan to use the built-in PostgreSQL database, you will need to ensure that the Visual C++ Runtime is installed.

   Use GitHub releases to download the Windows installer (.msi) or standalone binary (.exe).

   

   Alternatively, you can use the winget package manager to install Coder:

   winget install Coder.Coder
   

   Consult the Coder CLI documentation for more options.

3. Log in to your Coder deployment and authenticate when prompted:

   coder login coder.example.com
   

4. Configure Coder SSH:

   coder config-ssh
   

5. Connect to the workspace via SSH:
