Bazel is an open-source build tool designed to build and test software projects. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Bazel on FreeBSD Latest.
First, update your FreeBSD system to make sure you have the latest version of any software packages.
sudo pkg update
sudo pkg upgrade
Bazel requires certain dependencies to be installed on the system before installation. You can install all the required packages using the following command.
sudo pkg install raptor2 gmp llvm python3
The latest stable release of Bazel can be downloaded from the official Bazel website (http://www.bazel.io/). You can use the fetch command to download the source code.
fetch https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/releases/download/0.26.1/bazel-0.26.1-dist.zip
Once the download is complete, unzip the file to the /usr/local directory.
sudo unzip -q -o -d /usr/local bazel-0.26.1-dist.zip
Next, change to the Bazel installation directory.
cd /usr/local/bazel-0.26.1-dist
Finally, run the Bazel installation script.
sudo ./compile.sh
This will build and install Bazel on your system. The installation process may take some time.
Once the installation is complete, you can verify it by running the bazel command.
bazel version
This should display the version of Bazel installed on your system.
bazel 0.26.1
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Bazel on FreeBSD Latest. You can now use Bazel to build and test your software projects.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
