Installing Bazel on Fedora and CentOS

{% include “_buttons.html” %}

This page describes how to install Bazel on Fedora and CentOS.

The Bazel team does not provide official packages for Fedora and CentOS. Vincent Batts (@vbatts{: .external}) generously maintains unofficial packages on Fedora COPR{: .external}.

The commands below must be run either via sudo or while logged in as root.

Add --allowerasing when installing an upgrade from a previous major version of the Bazel package.

The Bazelisk installer is an alternative to package installation.

Installing on Fedora 25+ {:#installing-fedora}

1. The DNF{: .external} package manager can install Bazel from the COPR{: .external} repository. Install the copr plugin for DNF if you have not already done so.

   dnf install dnf-plugins-core
   

2. Run the following commands to add the Bazel repository and install the package:

   dnf copr enable vbatts/bazel
   
   dnf install bazel4
   

Installing on CentOS 7 {:#installing-centos}

1. Download the corresponding .repo file from Fedora COPR{: .external} and copy it to /etc/yum.repos.d/.

2. Run the following command:

   yum install bazel4
