Could not install Gradle distribution from 'https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.4.1-all.zip'

Question

I have just installed Android Studio 3.5 on windows and then created new project then above exception occurs. I have searched on google regarding the above error but none resolved.

Below are the links which I have tried but none worked

Is this issue is with Antivirus which is installed in local machine ?.I am just guessing, is this because of Antivirus ?

I was trying with this since 3 days.Please help me on this.Any help would be appreciated.

I cannot see Logcat.I am getting only above message, once we start Android studio.Proxy ? — Naveen, Aug 23 '19 at 15:35

I had the same problem and eventually I figured out that running Android Studio as administrator solves it. You can at least give it a try!

How do I run Android Studio as an administrator on Mac? – Rohit Singh Jul 23 '21 at 04:47
To always run as Administrator, right-click the Android Studio shortcut on the Start menu, click on "More", then "Open File Location", and the file explorer will pop up. Right-click the Android Studio shortcut on the file explorer, go to "Properties", on the properties dialog click on "Advanced" (down there, close to the bottom), and finally, check the "Run as Administrator" checkbox and confirm everything. Just like that, every time you run Android Studio through that shortcut it'll run as Admin. – Junior Damacena Jul 15 '22 at 21:56
add sudo at start of command in mac terminal. e.g. sudo npx react-native run-android – Ateş Danış Oct 06 '22 at 07:26

Open your gradle-wrapper.properties and modify your distributionUrl to point to gradle-5.4.1-all.zip, i.e.

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.4.1-all.zip

Change classpath to 3.5.0

buildscript {
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()

    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5.0'
        ...
    }
}

Close your Android Studio, whatever version you are using.
Start it again with administrative log in.
Android Studio will detect what needs to be updated or downloaded.

Automatically it will resolve the issue.

5.5.1 is out now, try upgrading to that using ./gradlew wrapper --gradle-version=5.5.1 and see if that makes a difference. This is preferable to editing any Gradle files manually.

Sure, run this command in the `terminal` tab in Android Studio. It'll attempt to fetch the latest version of the Gradle wrapper and install it. – ditn Aug 27 '19 at 13:21

In case the complete error message is something like:

Could not install Gradle distribution from 'https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.4.1-all.zip'.
error in opening zip file

You need to delete two files( under your .gradle/wrapper/dists/* directory):

gradle-5.4.1-all.zip
gradle-5.4.1-all.zip.lck

Then try again to download dependencies or upgrade.

Sometimes it might be due to the broken files in .gradle file.

This is an hidden folder in installation directory. Remove the dists folder from this location and go to File -> Invalidate Caches/Restarts.

For me it helped.

rm -rf .gradle/wrapper/dists

I got the same issue in new "Android Studio Bumblebee | 2021.1.1" release. Like "Could not install Gradle distribution from 'https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-gradle-7.2-all.zip'".

I did the following steps,

Step 1:

I did the same steps mentioned here- https://stackoverflow.com/a/59420289/1122622 ,

Like,

Close Android studio.
Right click on launcher icon of Android Studio
Click on "Run as administrator".

Step 2:

Also, verified with official gradle URL- https://services.gradle.org/distributions/ , the given link was right or wrong.

Step 3:

Don't forget to restart the Android Studio once the gradle download was completed.

After all the above 3 steps your issue will be resolved for sure and it will be applicable for upcoming gradle upgrade issue.

Note: Also verify "Do not build Gradle task list during Gradle sync" is enabled, in File->Settings->Experimental->Gradle.

Check if you accidently changed Gradle user home path. Goto Preference in Android studio, search for gradle and check gradle user home path.

It should be like:

/Users/mac/.gradle/

To: classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5.0'

And the gradle version:

I got this error while opening a very old project, the reason was that it was trying to fetch over http and not https. Update the distributionUrl path to https in the path \<project directory\>\gradle\wrapper\gradle-wrapper.properties and run the android studio in admin mode.

Please check the value of checksum that you are using in the 'gradle-wrapper.properties' for the version that you are using. It could also be a problem and you get the same error.

Find the value of checksum for the gradle versions at below link:

My solution is just turn on the offline mode, and give the wrong version value like "https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.2.1-all.zip", it shows the error like no offline package available and asks me to try in offline mode, then just replace with the exact correct value and turn off the offline mode, then click try again, it is worked for me.

Try downgrading the gradle version in gradle-wrapper.properties.

In my case I pulled a commit from our github project not knowing that my colleague has upgraded his own gradle version. I had to downgrade the version to the older one I was using before it started working.

Try it and see if it helps.
