Installation and Configuration of Gradle on Windows

Following are the steps used to install Gradle on Windows:

Step 1: To Install Gradle, Java should be installed in the operating system. If Java is already installed on the system, then check the version using cmd (java -version) because we need version 8.1 or above. If Java is not installed on the system then follow the steps given below for installation.

Note: We do not need to install groovy because Gradle has its own groovy library.

Step 2: Now, go to the official site of Gradle. Below is the link:

https://gradle.org/install/

Step 3: Click on Binary-only to download Gradle zip folder. When the downloading is completed, unzip the folder.

Now set the environment variables i.e., GRADLE_HOME and PATH to access the Gradle from any location.

Step 4: Go to the location where Gradle folder is placed. And copy the path of the Gradle folder from the address bar.

D:\Software\gradle-5.5.1

Step 5: Now go to This PC, right-click on it, and then click on properties.

Step 6: Click on Advanced system settings.

Step 7: Click on Environment variable.

Step 8: Now click on New button

Step 9: Give the variable name as GRADLE _HOME and for variable path paste the Path of the Gradle folder.

Step 10: Now to set the Path variable, again go to the Gradle folder and copy the path up to bin folder.

D:\Software\gradle-5.5.1\bin

Step 11: As we can see that Path variable is already defined, so we have to click on the edit button.

Step 12: Now click on the New button.

Step 13: Now paste the path and click on ok button.

Step 14: Now, we have to verify that Gradle is installed or not. So for that, go to command prompt and type gradle -version.
