Installing Bazel

Procedure

1. Use PuTTY to log in to the server as the root user.
2. Install the Bazel dependencies.

   yum -y install build-essential openjdk-8-jdk python zip unzip gcc python-pip libhdf5-serial-dev git pkg-config
   pip install numpy future keras_preprocessing mock Cython

3. Decompress, install, and compile Bazel.

   mkdir bazel
   unzip bazel-0.26.0-dist.zip -d bazel
   cd bazel
   EXTRA_BAZEL_ARGS='--host_javabase=@local_jdk//:jdk' ./compile.sh

4. Create a soft link.

   ln -s ${bazel root directory}/output/bazel /usr/bin/bazel

5. Perform the verification.

   bazel --version

   If the correct version is displayed, the installation is successful.
