## Building from Source
[](https://dev.azure.com/ziglang/zig/_build/latest?definitionId=1&branchName=master)
Note that you can
[download a binary of master branch](https://ziglang.org/download/#release-master).
### Stage 1: Build Zig from C++ Source Code
#### Dependencies
##### POSIX
* cmake >= 2.8.5
* gcc >= 5.0.0 or clang >= 3.6.0
* LLVM, Clang, LLD development libraries == 10.x, compiled with the same gcc or clang version above
- Use the system package manager, or [build from source](https://github.com/ziglang/zig/wiki/How-to-build-LLVM,-libclang,-and-liblld-from-source#posix).
##### Windows
* cmake >= 3.15.3
* Microsoft Visual Studio. Supported versions:
- 2015 (version 14)
- 2017 (version 15.8)
- 2019 (version 16)
* LLVM, Clang, LLD development libraries == 10.x
- Use the [pre-built binaries](https://github.com/ziglang/zig/wiki/Building-Zig-on-Windows) or [build from source](https://github.com/ziglang/zig/wiki/How-to-build-LLVM,-libclang,-and-liblld-from-source#windows).
#### Instructions
##### POSIX
```
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make install
```
##### MacOS
```
brew install cmake llvm
brew outdated llvm || brew upgrade llvm
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$(brew --prefix llvm)
make install
```
You will now run into this issue:
[homebrew and llvm 10 packages in apt.llvm.org are broken with undefined reference to getPollyPluginInfo](https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/4799)
Please help upstream LLVM and Homebrew solve this issue, there is nothing Zig
can do about it. See that issue for a workaround you can do in the meantime.
##### Windows
