Error message "gradlew: command not found"

I am working on a Java project with Gradle Wrapper (gradlew). I use Ubuntu Linux as my OS. When I run "gradle" it runs, and gives me information. But when I run "gradlew", it outputs as:

No command 'gradlew' found, did you mean:
Command 'gradle' from package 'gradle' (universe)
gradlew: command not found"

I did my research, I have the JDK, and I did sudo apt-get install gradle. How can I fix it?

The error is:

gradlew clean jpackage

Output:

bash: gradlew: command not found...
Solution

  • The Gradle wrapper needs to be built. Try running gradle wrapper --gradle-version 2.13.

    Remember to change 2.13 to your Gradle version number. After running this command, you should see new scripts added to your project folder. You should be able to run the wrapper with ./gradlew build to build your code.
