When I go to the path C:\Users\Sir John Qadir\ there is no any gradle1.6 folder in there. How to resolve this?

where to install from it and is it not installed along with andorid studio intallation? — Qadir Hussain, Jul 12 '13 at 21:10
it will automatically get installed from internet while creating your first project. After that you can set the gradle as local path from gradle settings under File>Settings > Gradle. — Piyush Agarwal, Oct 04 '13 at 13:08

If you have installed your gradle with brew then it would be:

/usr/local/Cellar/gradle/<version>/libexec/

Try using this path:

For Windows

C:\Users\MyHome\.gradle\wrapper\dists\gradle-1.6-bin\<some random folder>\gradle-1.6

For UNIX (Debian, Mac etc.)

~/.gradle/wrapper/dists/gradle-<a-version>-<bin or all>/<some random folder>/gradle-<a-version>

What will be "some random folder" ? – nadeem gc Oct 13 '15 at 20:05
Yeah, I don't know where that random folder is supposed to come from either. – Azurespot Feb 06 '17 at 23:21

Point to the folder <gradle root folder>/libexec. Things should start working.

When using homebrew, instead of (as suggested in other answers):

/usr/local/Cellar/gradle/<version>/libexec/

It's better to use:

/usr/local/opt/gradle/libexec

It's a symlink and will survive brew upgrade.

Create a build.gradle with:

task getHomeDir << {
    println gradle.gradleHomeDir
}

Then run it with:

gradle getHomeDir

You should see something like:

/usr/local/Cellar/gradle/1.6/libexec

You can use that to populate the Gradle plugin, and you’re off.

If you use brew to install gradle on mac, then use /usr/local/Cellar/gradle/4.0.1/libexec
