I installed Gradle from the repository. Then I downloaded Intellij Idea Community Edition from the official website and installed it.

I set the Java JDK and now I am trying to open a Gradle Project, but the problem is that it doesn't accept my Gradle home:

enter image description here

~/Documents/idea-IC-141.2735.5/bin$ whereis gradle
gradle: /usr/bin/gradle /usr/share/gradle /usr/share/man/man1/gradle.1.gz

What's wrong?

Edit: now I can choose the first option Use default gradle wrapper (recommended)

Probably because I restarted, I don't know

  • What is IntellIJ says when it doesn't accept ? Any alert or error message. Add this information to your answer because the problem is not obvious from screenshot that you attached Nov 1, 2015 at 10:00

In Gradle home option you need provide path to folder where your Gradle distribution was installed.

To determine the Gradle home location of your Gradle installation:

  1. Create build.gradle containing:

    task getHomeDir << {
        println gradle.gradleHomeDir
    }
    
  2. Run

    gradle getHomeDir

  • I get 21.26.31: Executing external task 'getHomeDir'... :getHomeDir /home/elect/.gradle/wrapper/dists/gradle-2.2-all/1vevkra640w3rb9hkuw50q5we/gradle-2.2 it seems it falls back using the default gradle wrapper

  • The step linked works. Just make sure to not have a space at the end. Jul 5, 2017 at 22:36
  • in Gradle 5.4.1 I get error "Could not find method leftShift() for arguments [build_a40fhrzx78ylj5i2p6fgsmqo4$_run_closure3@2ece1ad3] on task ':getHomeDir' of type org.gradle.api.DefaultTask." - it may be resolved by removing the << Jun 3, 2019 at 0:27
