## **Building Zowe CLI From Source**
Zowe CLI requires NPM version 8 and Cargo version 1.72.0 (or newer) to build from source. Before proceeding, check your NPM version with `npm --version` and if it's older than 8.x, update with `npm install -g npm`. To check your version of Cargo, run `cargo --version`. Cargo can be installed using rustup: [https://rustup.rs/](https://rustup.rs/). To update Cargo, run the `rustup update` command.

For developers using Linux, the following packages are required to build Zowe CLI from source:

- Debian/Ubuntu:
- `sudo apt install build-essential libsecret-1-dev`
- Red Hat-based:
- `sudo dnf group install "Development Tools"`
- `sudo dnf install libsecret-devel`
- Arch Linux:
- `sudo pacman -S base-devel libsecret`
