Gradle executable not found in Windows 7

Question

This is the first time you use [Gradle] [1] using version 2.1.

I unzipped the zip file to the directory D:\JavaTools\gradle-2.1 . I updated the environment variables and restarted my machine. But this is the test result:

 Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7600] Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

I am really very confused. I just want to import the spring-framework source code from github into my Eclispe or IntelliJ. If you have other solutions, tell me! Thanks!!!!

Answer 1

I had a similar problem. For some reason, the% GRADLE_HOME% system variable was not created.

echo %GRADLE_HOME% returned %GRADLE_HOME% , for example.

Therefore, I set the variable using setx, which comes with a gain of 7 and above. Download this one to use it in XP.

• Run cmd.exe from the administrator.
• Type setx GRADLE_HOME <path to gradle> /m

example setx GRADLE_HOME C:\Programming\gradle\gradle-2.4 /m

Reset cmd and check with echo %GRADLE_HOME% . Then add %GRADLE_HOME%\bin to your system path variable.

Answer 2

(In Win 7,) Don't worry about% GRADLE_HOME% etc. Just copy your path, including the bin folder: C: \ gradle -2.14-all \ gradle -2.14 \ bin And paste it into your system variable path after the column;
