How to Install Bazel on Ubuntu Server Latest

Bazel is an open-source build and test tool that is designed to automate the building and testing of software. It uses a declarative language to define your build targets and dependencies, and provides fast and reliable builds.

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install Bazel on Ubuntu Server Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, let's ensure that you have the following prerequisites installed on your machine:

Step 1: Update your system

The first thing we need to do is to update the system:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y

This will update the package list and install the latest available updates.

Step 2: Install Java

Bazel requires Java to be installed on your system. We can install Java by running the following command:

sudo apt-get install default-jdk-headless -y

Step 3: Install Bazel

We will use the package manager to install Bazel:

sudo apt-get install curl gnupg -y

Then, we'll add the Bazel distribution signing key and repository to our system:

curl -fsSL https://bazel.build/bazel-release.pub.gpg | gpg --dearmor > bazel.gpg
sudo mv bazel.gpg /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/
echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://storage.googleapis.com/bazel-apt stable jdk1.8" | \
sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bazel.list

Now, we can install the latest version of Bazel:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install bazel -y

Step 4: Verify installation

Once the installation is complete, you can verify it by running:

bazel version

This command will display the version of Bazel that you have installed.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Bazel on your Ubuntu Server Latest. Now, you can use Bazel to build and test your software projects with ease.
