Next, you need to download the version of Gradle that is right for you. Follow the steps below:

1. Open the browser and visit the release page of Gradle official website: https://gradle.org/releases/
   

Step 3: Unzip and configure Gradle

Unzip the downloaded zip file.

After unzipping, you can move the Gradle installation directory to your desired location. For example, you can move it /usr/local/under a directory.

sudo mv ~/gradle /usr/local/

Add the directory where Gradle is installed to your environment variables. Open a terminal and edit ~/.bash_profilethe file.

open ~/.bash_profile

Add the following content at the end of the file, replacing the path of Gradle with the path of the Gradle directory after you decompress it.

#gradle相关配置
export GRADLE_HOME="/Users/guo/gradle-7.6.1"
export PATH="$PATH:$GRADLE_HOME/bin"
export PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/gradle/gradle-7.6.1/bin"

Press Command + XSave and close the file.

Step 4: Make the environment variable take effect

Execute the following command in the terminal to make the modification of the environment variable just now take effect.

source ~/.bash_profile

Step 5: Verify Installation

Execute the following command in the terminal to verify that Gradle is installed successfully.

gradle -v

If the version information of Gradle is successfully displayed, it means that the installation is successful.

Now, you have successfully set up the Gradle environment on Mac. You are ready to use Gradle to build and manage your projects.
