    The key takeaways from the document are that Gradle is a build automation tool for Java projects, tasks are used to define actions in Gradle, and common commands include gradle tasks, gradle build, gradle clean among others.

    The steps to install Gradle manually are to download the latest distribution zip file, unpack it to a directory, configure the PATH environment variable to include the bin directory, and verify the installation by running gradle -v.

    Tasks are used to define all actions in Gradle. Tasks should not use the inbuilt tasks of Gradle. Tasks are defined using the apply plugin and task keywords in the build.gradle file.

    Installation

    Pre-requisites

    Java is required for Gradle installation

    Install Java
    #verify the installation
    java -version

    Installing Gradle manually

    Step 1. Download the latest Gradle distribution


    The current Gradle release is version 6.7, released on 14 Oct 2020. The distribution zip file comes in two flavors:
    • Binary-only
    • Complete, with docs and sources
    If in doubt, choose the binary-only version and browse docs and sources online.

    Step 2. Unpack the distribution


    Page 2 Gradle- Hands on Lab
    Linux & MacOS users
    Unzip the distribution zip file in the directory of your choosing, e.g.:
    $ mkdir /opt/gradle
    $ unzip -d /opt/gradle gradle-6.7-bin.zip
    $ ls /opt/gradle/gradle-6.7
    LICENSE NOTICE bin getting-started.html init.d lib media

    Microsoft Windows users


    Create a new directory C:\Gradle with File Explorer.
    Open a second File Explorer window and go to the directory where the Gradle distribution was downloaded. Double-click the ZIP
    archive to expose the content. Drag the content folder gradle-6.7 to your newly created C:\Gradle folder.
    Alternatively you can unpack the Gradle distribution ZIP into C:\Gradle using an archiver tool of your choice.

    Step 3. Configure your system environment

    Linux & MacOS users


    Configure your PATH environment variable to include the bin directory of the unzipped distribution, e.g.:
    $ export PATH=$PATH:/opt/gradle/gradle-6.7/bin

    Microsoft Windows users


    In File Explorer right-click on the This PC (or Computer) icon, then click Properties -> Advanced System Settings -> Environmental
    Variables.
    Under System Variables select Path, then click Edit. Add an entry for C:\Gradle\gradle-6.7\bin. Click OK to save.

    Step 4. Verify your installation


    Open a console (or a Windows command prompt) and run gradle -v to run gradle and display the version, e.g.:
    $ gradle -v

    Task is the “key” in Gradle. All actions can be defined as tasks

    Note: While defining tasks ensure to not use the inbuilt tasks of Gradle

    Common Gradle Commands

    Create build.gradle file


    Include a plugin for “java”

    vi build.gradle

    apply plugin: “java”

    task demo {
    Println “Demo”
    }

    gradle build - Perform build
