Prerequisites:
- You should have Java JDK installed on your macOS. If not please install Java JDK 8 or above version before installing Gradle. You can check if Java is installed on your system by typing the following command in Terminal.
code2care@mac ~ % java -version openjdk version "11.0.9.1" 2020-11-04 LTS OpenJDK Runtime Environment Zulu11.43+1021-CA (build 11.0.9.1+1-LTS) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Zulu11.43+1021-CA (build 11.0.9.1+1-LTS, mixed mode)
Note: I have open JDK installed on my system, you can choose to install Oracle or any other implementation.
- Optional: If you have brew package installed, the installation will would be really quick.
You can check if brew is installed or not on your Mac by trying out the below command,
code2care@mac ~ % brew --version
Homebrew >=2.5.0 (shallow or no git repository)
Homebrew/homebrew-core (no Git repository)
Gradle installation using Homebrew - Package Manager:
- Run the below brew command,
% brew install gradle

code2care@mac ~ % brew install gradle Error: No developer tools installed. Install the Command Line Tools: xcode-select --install

Once Xcode tool is installed retry the command: brew install gradle
