Build and run gradle project on another machine

Question

I have created a project using gradle and have created a gradle wrapper. How can I make sure that the project builds and runs on machine who don't have gradle installed?

Answer 1

If you created the project using gradle (i.e. gradle init), then gradle should have placed a gradlew, or gradlew.bat file in the root directory of your project. Use those files to run gradle on another machine.

gradlew can be used on *nix machines, while gradlew.bat is used on windows.

In any case, gradle also creates a gradle/wrapper which contains the gradle jar, and this can be run on any system which has java installed.
