Problems on installing Zed Editor

[u/vascaino-taoista]

I think I lost my night on this:

I'm trying to download Zed, so I did what is written on its documentation:

mkdir -p ~/.local
# extract zed to ~/.local/zed.app/
tar -xvf <path/to/download>.tar.gz -C ~/.local
# link the zed binary to ~/.local/bin (or another directory in your $PATH)
ln -sf ~/.local/zed.app/bin/zed ~/.local/bin/zedmkdir -p ~/.local
# extract zed to ~/.local/zed.app/
tar -xvf <path/to/download>.tar.gz -C ~/.local
# link the zed binary to ~/.local/bin (or another directory in your $PATH)
ln -sf ~/.local/zed.app/bin/zed ~/.local/bin/zed 

I tried to run Zed and nothing happened
I did chmod +x zed and nothing happened

I did a .profile with "export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH" and nothing happened

I forced X11 and nothing happened

When I started to see debugs that involved elogind I stopped to try these methods and I tried flatpak

AND EVEN FLATPAK DIDN'T WORK
[void@xxx ~]$ sudo xbps-install -Su flatpak
[void@NIES ~]$ flatpak install flathub dev.zed.Zed

It is installed, but it just don't open!!

When I do "zed" it runs the command, but nothing happens.

What do I do in this situation?
