Zorto runs on macOS and Linux. Windows support is available via WSL.

The quickest way to install:

curl -LsSf https://dkdc.sh/zorto/install.sh | sh

Alternatively, install from PyPI (requires Python 3.11+ and uv or pip):

uv tool install zorto

The Python package includes the same Rust engine — there is no performance difference.

Or build from source (requires Rust 1.85+):

cargo install zorto

Confirm it worked:

zorto --version

You should see something like zorto 0.x.y. If the command is not found, make sure the install location is in your PATH.

You’re ready for the tutorial.
