Installing Gradle on Ubuntu Server Latest

Gradle is a popular open-source build tool for Java, Groovy, and Kotlin projects. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to download and install the latest version of Gradle on Ubuntu Server.

Prerequisites

Before we proceed, ensure that the following dependencies have been installed on your Ubuntu Server:

• Java Development Kit (JDK): Gradle requires JDK version 8 or higher to be installed on your system.
• Superuser (sudo) privileges: You must be logged in as a user with sudo privileges to perform these installation steps.

Installation Steps

1. Update the package index:

   sudo apt update
   

2. Install required packages:

   sudo apt install wget unzip
   

3. Download the latest version of Gradle:

   Check the Gradle website (http://gradle.org/) for the latest version number, then download the corresponding package:

   wget https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-{VERSION}-bin.zip -P /tmp
   

   Replace "{VERSION}" with the latest version number (e.g. 6.8.2).

4. Unzip the downloaded package:

   sudo unzip -d /opt/gradle /tmp/gradle-{VERSION}-bin.zip
   

   This command will extract the archive to the directory "/opt/gradle/gradle-{VERSION}".

5. Set up Gradle environment variables:

   export PATH=$PATH:/opt/gradle/gradle-{VERSION}/bin
   

   You can append this command to the end of your shell's startup file (e.g. ~/.bashrc) to ensure that it is executed each time you log in.

6. Verify that Gradle has been installed:

   gradle -v
   

   This command should display the version number of Gradle that you have installed on your system.

Congratulations, you have now installed Gradle on your Ubuntu Server Latest! You can now start using Gradle for your Java, Groovy, or Kotlin projects.
