2026.17.2
Install Aspect CLI (Legacy)
See full install instructions in README.md.
Bazelisk (MacOS / Linux)
Configure bazelisk to use the Aspect CLI for all developers in a repository
by adding the following to .bazeliskrc in the repository root:
BAZELISK_BASE_URL=https://github.com/aspect-build/aspect-cli-legacy/releases/download
USE_BAZEL_VERSION=aspect/2026.17.2Note
This approach doesn't provide the aspect init command, which has to run outside a Bazel workspace.
The underlying version of Bazel can be configured in your .bazelversion file or the BAZEL_VERSION environment variable.
Homebrew (MacOS)
To install the Aspect CLI on MacOS, you can run
brew install aspect-build/aspect/aspect-legacyThis installs the aspect command and also links it to bazel, just like the bazelisk installer does.
