At GitHub, the convention for software installed through script/bootstrap
scripts is to use Homebrew. Nothing in the documentation or the Homebrew formula suggests to me that there’s a substantiative difference between the options, and said formula seems like it’s up to date, so I think it’s most appropriate to stick to our conventions here.
I was unaware of the github convention. Good to know. Thanks for the explanation.
I see from their docs that the binary installer is the recommended way to install bazel on mac.

Would it be possible to remove the install via homebrew from the bootstrap?
