zec-qt-wallet needs a Zcash node running zcashd. Linux users should download the Zcash node software
from [https://z.cash/download/](https://z.cash/download/), configure `zcash.conf`, download the parameters and start zcashd according to the [official documentation](https://zcash.readthedocs.io/en/latest/rtd_pages/user_guide.html).
There is currently no official zcashd build for Windows so Windows users may either [cross-compile from source on Linux](https://zcash.readthedocs.io/en/latest/rtd_pages/user_guide.html#installation) to generate the necessary zcashd executables or simply download community hosted pre-compiled executables such as those hosted by WinZEC developer [@radix42](https://github.com/radix42) at https://zcash.dl.mercerweiss.com/zcash-win-v2.0.1b.zip.

For all installations zcashd needs to run with RPC enabled (`server=1`, which is the default) and with a RPC username/password set. Add the following entries into `~/.zcash/zcash.conf` for Linux or` C:\Users\your-username\AppData\Roaming\Zcash\zcash.conf` on Windows replacing the default values with a strong password. zec-qt-wallet should detect these settings but if that fails you may edit the connection settings manually via the `File->Settings` menu.
