## Prerequisites: zcashd
zcash-qt-wallet needs a zcash node running zcashd. Download the zcash node software
from https://z.cash/download/ and start zcashd. If you are running Windows, you can
get [WinZEC Command Line daemon](https://zcash.dl.mercerweiss.com/zcash-win-v2.0.1.zip) or run zcashd inside [WSL](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10).
zcash-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).
zcashd needs to run with RPC enabled and with a RPC username/password set. Add the following entries into ~/.zcash/zcash.conf
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.
```
rpcuser=username
rpcpassword=password
```
zcash-qt-wallet should auto-detect zcashd and WinZEC. If you are running zcashd on WSL, then please set the connection parameters in the File->Settings menu.
Additionaly for Windows users the Zcash parameters must be manually downloaded and placed in `C:\Users\your-username\AppData\Roaming\ZcashParams`. The following files are required (and are around ~1.7GB in total).
```
https://z.cash/downloads/sapling-spend.params

The most likely cause for this is that you are trying to spend unconfirmed funds. Unlike bitcoin, the zcash protocol doesn't let you spent unconfirmed funds yet. Please wait for
1-2 blocks for the funds to confirm and retry the transaction.
