Install Gradle on CentOS 8

Once you installed Java on your system. Download the latest Gradle distribution release binary file from its official download page.

wget https://downloads.gradle-dn.com/distributions/gradle-6.3-bin.zip

Then extract the downloaded archive and place it to the proper location. Generally, I used /usr/local directory for storing applications. You can use alternative directory like /opt.

unzip gradle-6.3-bin.zip
mv gradle-6.3 /usr/local/gradle

Gradle has been configured on your system.

Setup Environment Variable

Now, you need to setup Gradle with PATH environment variable, Also make sure the variable is set after system reboot.

Place a shell script under profile.d directory to set PATH variable on reboot. Create a file like below:

vim /etc/profile.d/gradle.sh

and add the below line to file

export PATH=/usr/local/gradle/bin:$PATH

Save file and close it. Now source the script to apply environment for current shell.

source /etc/profile.d/gradle.sh

And you have done the Grandle installation on CentOS/RHEL 8 system.
