I have tried a few answers, namely:
How to install tar.gz files? Installing tar.gz file which has no configure, install, and readme file How to install tar file (jhead) on Mac or Linux machine
I am trying to install a specific version of bazel via http://www.bazel.io/docs/install.html#mac-os-x, but using the tar.gz
file within the 0.2.2b
section of https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/releases.
The readme file links to the docs in the Github which are not specific about installing tar.gz files and ensuring your $PATH
is updated. I was surprised to see not very clear instructions in general on this for the web.
I unzipped the file and see:
How can I go about this process and get myself up and running with 0.2.2b
version of bazel? Homebrew would have been easier but it doesn't allow for older versions of bazel.
sh compile.sh
