Installing using Homebrew

The following are the steps to install Homebrew:

  1. Homebrew has dependency with JDK, which you need to install first. Download the latest JDK from the Oracle website and install it.
  2. Then, install Homebrew.

You can run the following script directly from Terminal:

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL \
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

Once Homebrew is installed, you can install Bazel with the following command:

brew install bazel

All is well. Now, you can verify the Bazel version using the command shown here:

bazel version

If Bazel is already installed, you can upgrade the version using this command:

brew upgrade bazel
Note that Bazel does not currently support Android builds on Windows. Windows users should download the pre-built binary.
