Gradle is a popular build automation tool that is used widely for developing and building software projects. This tutorial will guide you through the steps to install Gradle on Clear Linux Latest.
Before you begin, make sure you have the following:
Gradle requires Java 8 or above to run. Check the version of Java installed on your system using the following command:
$ java -version
If Java is not installed, you can install it using the following command:
$ sudo swupd bundle-add java-basic
Download and extract the latest version of Gradle from the official Gradle website. You can use the following command to download the latest version:
$ wget https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-<version>-bin.zip
Replace <version> with the version number you want to install. For example:
$ wget https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.1.1-bin.zip
Extract the downloaded Gradle zip file to the /opt directory using the following command:
$ sudo unzip -d /opt gradle-<version>-bin.zip
Replace <version> with the version number you downloaded.
Set the Gradle environment variables by appending the following lines to your ~/.bashrc file:
export GRADLE_HOME=/opt/gradle-<version>
export PATH=$GRADLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
Replace <version> with the version number you downloaded.
To apply the changes, either logout and login again or source the ~/.bashrc file:
$ source ~/.bashrc
Verify that Gradle is installed correctly by running the following command:
$ gradle -v
This command should display the version of Gradle and other details. If Gradle is not installed correctly, check the environment variables and retrace the above steps.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Gradle on Clear Linux Latest. You can now use Gradle to build your projects.
