Gradle is a powerful build automation tool that is used to automate building, testing, and deployment of software projects. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Gradle on your NetBSD machine.
Before we proceed with the installation, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:
Gradle requires Java in order to run. Start by installing Java on your NetBSD machine. You can do this by running:
pkgin update
pkgin install openjdk8
This will download and install the OpenJDK 8 package on your system.
The next step is to download and extract the Gradle distribution archive. You can do this by following these steps:
gradle-7.3-bin.zip ~/Downloads/gradle-7.3-bin.zipmkdir /opt/gradle
unzip ~/Downloads/gradle-7.3-bin.zip -d /opt/gradle
This will extract Gradle to the /opt/gradle/gradle-7.3 directory.
To use Gradle, you need to add the Gradle binary directory to your PATH environment variable. You can do this by opening your ~/.bashrc file and adding the following line:
export PATH=/opt/gradle/gradle-7.3/bin:$PATH
Save and close the file, then reload your shell configuration by running:
source ~/.bashrc
To verify that Gradle is installed and functioning correctly, you can run the following command:
gradle --version
This should output the version of Gradle that you installed, along with some additional information about your Java environment.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Gradle on your NetBSD machine! You can now use Gradle to build and automate your software projects.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
