SDKMAN!

Another alternative is to use SDKMAN!, a clever collection of shell scripts for installing/uninstalling various kinds of software kits.

An advantage of sdkman over brew is that many versions of gradle are supported. (brew only supports the latest version and 2.14.)

To install sdkman execute:

curl -s "https://get.sdkman.io" | bash

Then follow the instructions. Go here for more installation information. Once sdkman is installed use the command:

sdk install gradle

Or to install a specific version:

sdk install gradle 2.2

Or use to use a specific installed version:

sdk use gradle 2.2

To see which versions are installed and available:

sdk list gradle

For more information go here.

As mentioned in this tutorial, it's as simple as:

To install

brew install gradle

To upgrade

brew upgrade gradle

(using Homebrew of course)

Also see (finally) updated docs.

Two Method

  • using homebrew auto install:
    • Steps:
      • brew install gradle
    • Pros and cons
      • Pros: easy
      • Cons: (probably) not latest version
  • manually install (for latest version):
    • Pros and cons
      • Pros: use your expected any (or latest) version
      • Cons: need self to do it
    • Steps
      • download latest version binary (gradle-6.0.1) from Gradle | Releases
      • unzip it (gradle-6.0.1-all.zip) and added gradle path into environment variable PATH
        • normally is edit and add following config into your startup script( ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc etc.):
export GRADLE_HOME=/path_to_your_gradle/gradle-6.0.1
export PATH=$GRADLE_HOME/bin:$PATH

some other basic note

Q: How to make PATH take effect immediately?

A: use source:

source ~/.bashrc

it will make/execute your .bashrc, so make PATH become your expected latest values, which include your added gradle path.

Q: How to check PATH is really take effect/working now?

A: use echo to see your added path in indeed in your PATH

➜  ~ echo $PATH
xxx:/Users/crifan/dev/dev_tool/java/gradle/gradle-6.0.1/bin:xxx

you can see we added /Users/crifan/dev/dev_tool/java/gradle/gradle-6.0.1/bin into your PATH

Q: How to verify gradle is installed correctly on my Mac ?

A: use which to make sure can find gradle

➜  ~ which gradle
/Users/crifan/dev/dev_tool/java/gradle/gradle-6.0.1/bin/gradle

AND to check and see gradle version

➜  ~ gradle --version

I had downloaded it from http://gradle.org/gradle-download/. I use Homebrew, but I missed installing gradle using it.

To save some MBs by downloading it over again using Homebrew, I symlinked the gradle binary from the downloaded (and extracted) zip archive in the /usr/local/bin/. This is the same place where Homebrew symlinks all other binaries.

cd /usr/local/bin/
ln -s ~/Downloads/gradle-2.12/bin/gradle

Now check whether it works or not:

gradle -v
