How to Install and Configure Gradle on Windows. gradle is a build automation system. Today’s apps, for example an Android app, are not structurally as simple as they were fifteen years ago.
In the past, program code was written by a programmer and executed after compilation. But today, a programmer needs to perform various operations before running a program to create program executable files such as an apk or exe file. Note that the programmer must repeat this operation after each change in the program to re-run.
This operation is called construction operation. The time consuming, complexity, and variety of the manufacturing process has led programmers to build automated manufacturing systems such as gradle.
Because build automation is an integral part of the consistent delivery of software projects, Gradle integrates seamlessly with multiple IDE’s, including Android Studio. This tutorial covers the manual installation of Gradle on Windows.
