Bazel is a build tool that helps with the automation and management of builds for various languages and platforms. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install Bazel on Alpine Linux Latest.
Before starting, you need to ensure that you have the following:
Follow the steps below to install Bazel on Alpine Linux:
Open the terminal on your Alpine Linux instance.
Run the following command to update your system's package index:
sudo apk update
Install the required packages for Bazel:
sudo apk add curl bash
Download the latest version of the Bazel binary with the following command:
curl -LO https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/releases/download/VERSION/bazel-VERSION-dist.zip
Replace VERSION with the version number of the latest release. For example, if the latest release is 4.1.0, you would run:
curl -LO https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/releases/download/4.1.0/bazel-4.1.0-dist.zip
Unzip the downloaded file with the following command:
unzip bazel-VERSION-dist.zip -d bazel-VERSION-dist
Replace VERSION with the version number you downloaded. For example:
unzip bazel-4.1.0-dist.zip -d bazel-4.1.0-dist
Change to the unzipped directory:
cd bazel-VERSION-dist
Replace VERSION with the version number you downloaded. For example:
cd bazel-4.1.0-dist
Make the bazel binary executable:
chmod +x output/bazel
Move the bazel binary to /usr/local/bin:
sudo mv output/bazel /usr/local/bin/
This will make the bazel binary executable system-wide.
Verify that Bazel is installed correctly by running the following command:
bazel version
If Bazel is installed correctly, you should see the version number printed to the terminal.
In this tutorial, we have gone through the steps to install Bazel on Alpine Linux Latest. With Bazel installed, you can automate and manage your builds for various languages and platforms.
