Gradle Installation

I am following the below link to install/configure Gradle. http://www.360logica.com/blog/2015/11/how-to-configure-gradle-on-windows-machine.html I ended up downloading gradle in my V:\ drive instead of C:. As a result, in step 7, I put V:\gradle-2.8 as the variable path name. I am not sure what to do for steps 8 onwards (I don't see a PATH that starts with V:\ in the System Variables) because I didn't put this in my C drive. Thank you for your help

Your GRADLE_HOME is V:\gradle-2.8 , as opposed to C:\Program Files\gradle-2.8 in the tutorial. Thats perfectly alright.

In Step 8: do this

Variable name: GRADLE_HOME
Variable value: V:\gradle-2.8

In Step 9: No change.

Select “path” variable under the “System Variables” section and click on “Edit” button.

Step 10: No change.

Go to the end of variable value and add “;%GRADLE_HOME%\bin” and click on “OK” button.

Why it works ?

When you give path variable as ;%GRADLE_HOME%\bin; Since you have already defined a variable called GRADLE_HOME = V:\gradle-2.8 , the path variable will get substituted and resolved to V:\gradle-2.8\bin.

This can be verified by issuing echo %PATH% in cmd. You wont see GRADLE_HOME in the output because it was replaced with V:\gradle-2.8

What happens when your issue gradle in cmd ?

When you issue 'gradle' command in your windows commandline, it will look for a binary name 'gradle' in the paths defined by PATH , since there will be a binary named gradle.exe inside the V:\gradle-2.8\bin , it will be executed. In Linux the steps are similar conceptually.
