-The standard way of compiling a release version of Bazel from source
-is to use a distribution archive. Download `bazel-<VERSION>-dist.zip`
-from
-the [release page](https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/releases) for
-the desired version. We recommend to also verify the signature made by our
-[release key](https://bazel.build/bazel-release.pub.gpg) 48457EE0.
+1. Install OpenJDK 8:
+   ```
+   $ sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk
+   ```
 
-Unzip the archive and call `bash ./compile.sh`; this will create a
-bazel binary in `output/bazel`. This binary is self-contained,
-so it can be copied to a directory on the PATH (e.g.,
-`/usr/local/bin`) or used in-place.
