# Installing Bazel on Fedora and CentOS
The Bazel team does not provide official packages for Fedora and CentOS.
Vincent Batts ([@vbatts](https://github.com/vbatts)) generously maintains
unofficial packages on
[Fedora COPR](https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/vbatts/bazel/).
The commands below must be run either via `sudo` or while logged in as `root`.
Add `--allowerasing` when installing an upgrade from a previous major
version of the Bazel package.
[The Bazelisk installer](install-bazelisk.md) is an alternative to package installation.
## Installing on Fedora 25+
1. The [DNF](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DNF) package manager can install
Bazel from the [COPR](https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/) repository. Install
the `copr` plugin for DNF if you have not already done so.
```bash
dnf install dnf-plugins-core
```
2. Run the following commands to add the Bazel repository and install the
package:
```bash
dnf copr enable vbatts/bazel
dnf install bazel3
```
## Installing on CentOS 7
1. Download the corresponding `.repo` file from
[Fedora COPR](https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/vbatts/bazel/repo/epel-7/vbatts-bazel-epel-7.repo)
and copy it to `/etc/yum.repos.d/`.
2. Run the following command:
```bash
yum install bazel3
```
