1. Below is my setup for gradle/jenkins  
centos 7,  
installed jenkins  
installed gradle in folder /opt/gradle/gradle-3.4.1

2. 

Under Manage Jenkins/Global Tools config, added gradle installation  
Name - gradle3, Gradle Home - /opt/gradle/gradle-3.4.1  
ran command ‘gradle init’ from the terminal

1. Created pipeline ‘pipe4’ with config below  
pipeline {  
agent any  
stages{

git ‘[GitHub - javahometech/my-app](https://github.com/javahometech/my-app.git)’  
}  
}  
stage(‘compile’) {  
tools {  
gradle ‘gradle3’  
}  
steps {  
sh ‘gradle compileJava’  
}  
}
