Bazel is a free software tool that allows for the automation of building and testing of software. Similar to build tools like Make, Maven, and Gradle, Bazel builds software applications from source code using a set of rules.
It is not officially supported by the Power architecture, because of that, we provide the binary and the possibility to use the package through the Advanced Packaging Tool (APT), and Red Hat Package Manager (RPM).
In order for installation via APT or YUM, the user must add our repository to his system. To do this, just do the following steps.
Add the repository and install Bazel
To add the repository to the system, and to always obtain the new versions of software that we provide, follow these steps.
Add APT repository
Edit the file: /etc/apt/sources.list
Insert the line at the end of the file:
deb https://oplab9.parqtec.unicamp.br/pub/repository/debian/ ./
Download our GPG key, and use the command below to add it to the system:
sudo apt-key add openpower-gpgkey-public.asc
After that, update the system using the command below:
sudo apt update
Install Bazel
To install, use the command:
sudo apt install bazel
Add RPM repository
Create and edit the file: /etc/yum.repos.d/open-power.repo
Add the text to it:
[Open-Power]
name=Unicamp OpenPower Lab - $basearch
baseurl=https://oplab9.parqtec.unicamp.br/pub/repository/rpm/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
repo_gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://oplab9.parqtec.unicamp.br/pub/key/openpower-gpgkey-public.asc
After that, performs the following command with super-user capabilities to update the system.

To be a super user, use the command:
