Gradle Installation & CLI
Install Gradle, understand its command-line interface, and execute basic build commands.
Meet the Gradle CLI
The Gradle Command Line Interface (CLI) is your main tool for interacting with Gradle. It's how you tell Gradle what to do, like building your project or running tests.
Understanding the CLI is crucial for automating your build processes and managing your projects effectively.
Java is Required!
Before installing Gradle, you need to have the Java Development Kit (JDK) installed on your system. Gradle runs on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), just like Java applications.
- Ensure you have JDK 8 or higher.
- You can check your Java version with:
java -version
