Note: Make sure you are on Java 8 or a later version.
Navigate to https://gradle.org/releases/ and download the latest version of gradle
Unzip and setup:
$ mkdir /opt/gradle
$ unzip -d /opt/gradle gradle-7.6-bin.zip
$ ls /opt/gradle/gradle-7.6
LICENSE NOTICE bin getting-started.html init.d lib media
Set path variable
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/gradle/gradle-7.6/bin
verify
$ gradle -v
This will result in the below status showing the version of the installed Gradle.
