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-v2.0.1.zip.
Alternitavely run zcashd inside [WSL](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10).
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. zcash-qt-wallet should detect these settings but if that fails you may edit the connection settings manually via the `File->Settings` menu.

## Troubleshooting FAQ
### 1. "Connection Error"
Normally, zcash-qt-wallet can pick up the rpcuser/rpcpassword from zcash.conf. If it doesn't for some reason, you can set the username/password in the File->Settings menu.

If you are connecting to a remote node, make sure that zcashd on the remote machine is accepting connections from your machine. The target machine's firewall needs to allow connections
from your host and also zcashd is set to be configured to accept connections from this host.
