Install gradle with SDKMAN.

  1. Install SDKMAN. To do this, open Terminal and run

    $ curl -s "https://get.sdkman.io" | bash
    
  2. Run the below command to add SDKMAN path to ~/.bash_profile.

    source $HOME/.sdkman/bin/sdkman-init.sh
    

    NOTE: Check ~/.bash_profile file to verfiy if SDKMAN is added. If you do not see the entry for SDKMAN at the end of the file, add these line to ~/.bash_profile manually.

        ```
    
        #THIS MUST BE AT THE END OF THE FILE FOR SDKMAN TO WORK!!!
        export SDKMAN_DIR="/Users/pavanpkulkarni/.sdkman"
        [[ -s "/Users/pavanpkulkarni/.sdkman/bin/sdkman-init.sh" ]] && source "/Users/pavanpkulkarni/.sdkman/bin/sdkman-init.sh"
        ``` 
    
  3. Run source ~/bash_profile to reflect the changes. Open a new tab in terminal. Verify installation by running

    Pavans-MacBook-Pro:~ pavanpkulkarni$ sdk version
    
    SDKMAN 5.6.2+294
    
  4. To install your desired version of gradle, run

    Pavans-MacBook-Pro:~ pavanpkulkarni$ sdk install gradle 4.6
    
  5. Verify your installation by running

    Pavans-MacBook-Pro:~ pavanpkulkarni$ gradle --version
