Gradle入门实战（Windows版）

Installation

Gradle runs on all major operating systems and requires only a Java JDK or JRE version 7 or higher to be installed. To check, run java -version:

$ java -<span>version
java version </span><span>"</span><span>1.8.0_121</span><span>"</span>

Step 1. Download the latest Gradle distribution

download url : https://gradle.org/releases/ 
提供了二进制包和完整包（包含User Manual、API Javadoc、DSL Reference）

Step 2. Unpack the distribution

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-4.1 to your newly created C:Gradle folder.

Alternatively（另外） you can unpack the Gradle distribution ZIP into C:Gradle using an archiver tool of your choice.

Step 3. Configure your system environment

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:Gradlegradle-4.1in. Click OK to save.

Step 4. Verify your installation

Open Windows command prompt and run gradle -v to run gradle and display the version, 
e.g.:

$ gradle -<span>v
Gradle </span><span>4.1</span>

注意：不同窗口下命令的执行
