title: Installing Bazel on Ubuntu
---
# <a name="ubuntu"></a>Install Bazel on Ubuntu
Supported Ubuntu Linux platforms:
* 16.04 (LTS)
* 15.10
* 14.04 (LTS)
Install Bazel on Ubuntu using one of the following methods:
* [Use our custom APT repository (recommended)](#install-on-ubuntu)
* [Use the binary installer](#install-with-installer-ubuntu)
* [Compile Bazel from source](#install-compile-source.md)
Bazel comes with two completion scripts. After installing Bazel, you can:
* access the [bash completion script](install.md)
* install the [zsh completion script](install.md)
## <a name="install-on-ubuntu"></a> Using Bazel custom APT repository (recommended)
### 1. Add Bazel distribution URI as a package source (one time setup)
```
$ echo "deb [arch=amd64] http://storage.googleapis.com/bazel-apt stable jdk1.8" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bazel.list
$ curl https://bazel.build/bazel-release.pub.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
```
If you want to use the JDK 7, please replace `jdk1.8` with `jdk1.7` and if you
want to install the testing version of Bazel, replace `stable` with `testing`.
### 2. Install and update Bazel
`$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install bazel`
Once installed, you can upgrade to newer version of Bazel with:
`$ sudo apt-get upgrade bazel`
## <a name="install-with-installer-ubuntu"></a>Install with installer
We provide binary installers on our
<a href="https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/releases">GitHub releases page</a>
The installer only contains Bazel binary, some additional libraries are required
to be installed on the machine to work.
### 1. Install JDK 8
To install OpenJDK 8:
```
$ sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk
```
### 2. Install other required packages
```
$ sudo apt-get install pkg-config zip g++ zlib1g-dev unzip
```
### 3. Download Bazel
Download the [Bazel installer](https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/releases) for
your operating system.
### 4. Run the installer
Run the installer:
<pre>
$ chmod +x bazel-<em>version</em>-installer-<em>os</em>.sh
$ ./bazel-<em>version</em>-installer-<em>os</em>.sh --user
</pre>
The `--user` flag installs Bazel to the `$HOME/bin` directory on your system and
sets the `.bazelrc` path to `$HOME/.bazelrc`. Use the `--help` command to see
additional installation options.
### 5. Set up your environment
If you ran the Bazel installer with the `--user` flag as above, the Bazel
executable is installed in your `$HOME/bin` directory. It's a good idea to add
this directory to your default paths, as follows:
```bash
$ export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/bin"
```
You can also add this command to your `~/.bashrc` file.
