* A compatible operating system (e.g. Linux, macOS, Windows).
* A compatible C++ compiler that supports at least C++14.
* [Bazel](https://bazel.build/), the preferred build system used by the
GoogleTest team.
* [Bazel](https://bazel.build/) 7.0 or higher, the preferred build system used
by the GoogleTest team.

[Bazel workspace](https://docs.bazel.build/versions/main/build-ref.html#workspace)
is a directory on your filesystem that you use to manage source files for the
software you want to build. Each workspace directory has a text file named
`WORKSPACE` which may be empty, or may contain references to external
`MODULE.bazel` which may be empty, or may contain references to external
dependencies required to build the outputs.

Next, you’ll create the `WORKSPACE` file to specify dependencies. A common and
recommended way to depend on GoogleTest is to use a
[Bazel external dependency](https://docs.bazel.build/versions/main/external.html)
via the
[`http_archive` rule](https://docs.bazel.build/versions/main/repo/http.html#http_archive).
To do this, in the root directory of your workspace (`my_workspace/`), create a
file named `WORKSPACE` with the following contents:
Next, you’ll create the `MODULE.bazel` file to specify dependencies. As of Bazel
7.0, the recommended way to consume GoogleTest is through the
[Bazel Central Registry](https://registry.bazel.build/modules/googletest). To do
this, create a `MODULE.bazel` file in the root directory of your Bazel workspace
with the following content:
```
load("@bazel_tools//tools/build_defs/repo:http.bzl", "http_archive")
# MODULE.bazel
http_archive(
name = "com_google_googletest",
urls = ["https://github.com/google/googletest/archive/5ab508a01f9eb089207ee87fd547d290da39d015.zip"],
strip_prefix = "googletest-5ab508a01f9eb089207ee87fd547d290da39d015",
)
# Choose the most recent version available at
# https://registry.bazel.build/modules/googletest
bazel_dep(name = "googletest", version = "1.15.0")
```
The above configuration declares a dependency on GoogleTest which is downloaded
as a ZIP archive from GitHub. In the above example,
`5ab508a01f9eb089207ee87fd547d290da39d015` is the Git commit hash of the
GoogleTest version to use; we recommend updating the hash often to point to the
latest version. Use a recent hash on the `main` branch.
Now you're ready to build C++ code that uses GoogleTest.
