    Prerequisites

    Gradle requires to run Java JDK 8 or JRE 8 or higher version. Make sure you have java installed on your Ubuntu system or use following command to install it.

    sudo apt install openjdk-11-jdk
    

    Verify installed Java version on your system.

    java -version
    
    openjdk 11.0.6 2020-01-14
    OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 11.0.6+10-post-Ubuntu-1ubuntu118.04.1)
    OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.0.6+10-post-Ubuntu-1ubuntu118.04.1, mixed mode, sharing)
    

    Install Gradle on Ubuntu

    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 Ubuntu system.

    Test Gradle Version

    Once you finished the Gradle installation, let’s check the installed version on your system.

    gradle -v
    

    Output

    Welcome to Gradle 6.3!
