How do I install/upgrade gradle for Mac?
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.
Cheers :)!
Another alternative is to use sdkman. 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.
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
Two Method
using homebrew auto install: Steps: brew install gradle Pros and cons Pros: easy Cons: (probably) not latest version
Steps: brew install gradle
brew install gradle
Pros and cons Pros: easy Cons: (probably) not latest version
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.):

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
