'gradle' is not recognized internal or external command

Rohan_Sarker · September 23, 2014, 4:39am

I had downloaded Gradle 2.1 from http://www.gradle.org/ and unpacked it in folder C:\Gradle\gradle-2.1-all

I am using Windows 7 (32 Bit OS) in DELL Vostro with Intel i5 Pentium.

I set GRADLE_HOME as C:\Gradle\gradle-2.1-all and add to PATH = %GRADLE_HOME%\bin

Command Summary is:

C:\Users\Dell>gradle ‘gradle’ is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

C:\Users\Dell>cd…

C:\Users>cd…

C:>cd gradle

C:\Gradle>cd gradle-2.1-all

C:\Gradle\gradle-2.1-all>gradle -v ‘gradle’ is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

C:\Gradle\gradle-2.1-all>cd bin The system cannot find the path specified.

C:\Gradle\gradle-2.1-all>gradle -v ‘gradle’ is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

C:\Gradle\gradle-2.1-all>echo path path

C:\Gradle\gradle-2.1-all>echo %GRADLE_HOME% C:\Gradle\gradle-2.1-all

C:\Gradle\gradle-2.1-all>gradle ‘gradle’ is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

C:\Gradle\gradle-2.1-all>

Please help us in installing Gradle.

Hi Rohan

This tells me that the extraction of the zip didn’t work out. Or didnt go where you think…

C:\Gradle\gradle-2.1-all>cd bin
The system cannot find the path specified.

So even though you’ve correctly added %GRADLE_HOME%\bin to the path, there is no bin directory in that folder to speak of.

Can you do an dir in that directory, and worth double checking that the zip target put it in the right place.

Kind regards

Kon

Look carefully at the part where you do ‘cd bin’ to see the error message there. My guess is that you did not unpacked it correctly (or to the right place).

Rohan_Sarker · September 24, 2014, 2:31am

Please let me tell you that bin folder exists in the path:

C:\Gradle\gradle-2.1-all\gradle-2.1\bin

There are two files in the bin Folder:

gradle File gradle Windows Batch File

Command Windows is:

C:\Users\Dell>cd…

C:\Users>cd…

C:>cd Gradle

C:\Gradle>cd gradle-2.1-all

C:\Gradle\gradle-2.1-all>cd gradle-2.1

C:\Gradle\gradle-2.1-all\gradle-2.1>cd bin

C:\Gradle\gradle-2.1-all\gradle-2.1\bin>

Hi Rohan
Did you get this fixed up?

I notice in your reply Gradle was installed to
C:\Gradle\gradle-2.1-all\gradle-2.1\bin

but in your original message you had your path set as

C:\Gradle\gradle-2.1-all>echo %PATH%
C:\Python\Python34;C:\Python\Python34\Scripts;C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapa
th;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\W
indowsPowerShell\v1.0;C:\ant194\bin;C:\maven323\bin;C:\Java\jdk_8u20\bin;C:\Jav
a\groovy-binary-2.4.0-beta-3\groovy-2.4.0-beta-3\bin;C:\Python\Python34;;C:\Lua 
5.1;C:\Lua\5.1\clibs;C:\Gradle\gradle-2.1-all\bin;C:\Ruby200\bin

Your path has C:\Gradle\gradle-2.1-all\bin should be C:\Gradle\gradle-2.1-all\gradle-2.1\bin

Gradle.org site suggests to create environmental variable GRADLE_HOME set to gradle-XXX/ bin. But it works only in bin folder. I just opened environmental variables window from computer properties,

select the $path variable.
Copied the content of value in notepad,
Manually added the gradle-XXX/ bin directory. copy& paste it value box. Now I am all set. No need restart the command prompt. The gradle command works from any directory now.

I got the same problem… Gradle is working form /bin directory:

but outside the folder I have got message:

my enviromental variable is set: name: GRADLE_HOME value: C:\Program Files\Gradle\gradle-2.2.1\bin

Have U got any idea?

There is no need to create separate variable for GRADLE_HOME. Open “path” env variable and add “C:\Program Files\Gradle\gradle-2.2.1\bin” at the end. It should work…

Thank U for help. Gradle is working from Git bash and windows cmd, but I got strange situation now - gradle is recognizable in /bin folder from Android Studio terminal but outside that folder I got:

‘gradle’ is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

My shell path in Android Studio terminal: cmd.exe

Whats wrong with it?

Sundar_Rajan1 · January 13, 2015, 3:40pm

Create env variable GRADLE_HOME=C:\Program Files\Gradle\gradle-2.2.1 2. Edit env variable path=$GRADLE_HOME\bin. It should resolve your issues.

adetunji_adegbite · February 23, 2015, 8:14am

I am having the same issue, I did all the settings both for GRADLE_HOME and path, what i discovered is that gradle -v command works well in git bash shell but does not work in windows cmd prompt. Working from bash for now Thanks
