How to Install Gradle on Kali Linux Latest

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of Gradle on Kali Linux. Gradle is a powerful build tool used to build automation tasks such as compiling code, running tests, and producing executable applications.

Prerequisites

Before installing Gradle, please ensure that your Kali Linux operating system is up-to-date. You can do this by running the following command on your terminal:

sudo apt-get update

Step 1: Install Java

Gradle requires Java to be installed on your system. If Java is not installed, then you can install it by running the following command:

sudo apt-get install default-jre

Once installed, you can verify the Java version by running the following command:

java -version

Step 2: Download Gradle

You can download the latest version of Gradle from the official website: http://gradle.org/

You can download the binary package from the website, or you can use the following command to download the latest version:

wget https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.2-bin.zip

Step 3: Extract the Zip file

After downloading the Gradle zip file, you can extract it to a specific folder on your Kali Linux system using the following command:

sudo mkdir /opt/gradle
sudo unzip -d /opt/gradle gradle-7.2-bin.zip

Step 4: Set up Environment variables

To configure the environment variables for Gradle, go to your home directory and open the .bashrc file using your preferred text editor:

nano ~/.bashrc

Add the following lines at the end of the file:

export GRADLE_HOME=/opt/gradle/gradle-7.2
export PATH=$PATH:$GRADLE_HOME/bin

Once you have added the lines, save and exit the file by pressing CTRL + X, then Y, followed by ENTER.

You can then reload the .bashrc file by running the following command:

source ~/.bashrc

Step 5: Verify the installation

You can now verify the installation of Gradle by running the following command:

gradle -v

This command will display the version of Gradle installed on your system.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Gradle on your Kali Linux system. You can now use Gradle to automate your software building process.
