Install Zig from a Package Manager

Note: Official builds of master branch and releases are available for download.

When using a package manager, it is best to use a tagged release rather than using an option to install a development version.

See Repology for an overview of which package management systems and operating systems Zig has already been packaged for, and what the current packaged version is.
