Bazel is a build tool, a tool that can run, compile and test to assemble software, just like Make, Ant, Gradle, Buck, Pants, and Maven. Here we will see how to install Bazel open-source software building and testing tool on CentOS 8 Linux / Stream / RHEL 8. 

What is Bazel?

Bazel is a compilation tool developed by Google’s under its open-source initiative, and Bazel uses distributed caching and incremental build methods to make compilation faster. It natively supports the Java and C++ languages, and currently has open-source related rules for compiling Golang projects.

Install Bazel on CentOS or Redhat for building and testing of software

    1. Open Command terminal on CentOS or RHEL. If you are on the CLI server then you already on that, however, for GUI, go to Activities, and from the menu, click on Terminal icon.
    2. Login as Root or standard user with sudo access.
    3. Add Bazel repository on CentOS 8/7. And same for the Redhat.For CentOS 7 or Redhat 7:
      yum config-manager --add-repo https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/vbatts/bazel/repo/epel-7/vbatts-bazel-epel-7.repo

      For CentOS 8 Linux or RHEL 8:

      dnf config-manager --add-repo https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/vbatts/bazel/repo/epel-8/vbatts-bazel-epel-8.repo
    4. Command to install Bazel on CentOS
      dnf install bazel

      or

      yum install bazel

      Output for the command:

      [root@localhost ~]# dnf install bazel

What is special about Bazel?

Bazel is a software development model designed to work with Google.

Has the following characteristics:

Multi-language support: Bazel supports Java, Objective-C and C++, and can be extended to support any programming language.

High-level build language: Engineering is described by the BUILD language. The BUILD language describes a project consisting of multiple small interrelated libraries, binaries, and test programs in a concise text format. In contrast, tools like Make need to describe individual files and compiled commands.

Multi-platform support: The same set of tools and the same BUILD file can be used to build software for different architectures and platforms. At Google, we use Bazel to build server-side programs that run on our data centre systems and client applications that run on mobile phones.

Reproducibility: In a BUILD file, each library, test program, and binary must explicitly and explicitly specify direct dependencies. When the source code file is modified, Bazel uses this dependency information to know which ones must be rebuilt and which tasks can be executed in parallel. This means that all builds are incremental and can produce the same results each time.

Scalability: Bazel can handle huge builds; at Google, a server-side program with more than 100k of source code is a common thing. If no files are changed, the build process takes about 200ms.

Why should I use Bazel?

Bazel can double the build speed because it only recompiles files that need to be recompiled. Similarly, it skips tests that have not been changed.

It produces a determined result. This eliminates the difference in build results between incremental and clean builds, development machines, and continuous integration.

Bazel can use the same tools under the same project to build different client and server applications. For example, you can modify a client/server protocol in a commit and then test that the updated mobile and server-side programs work properly, using the same tools when building, using the Bazel mentioned above. characteristic.
