Where is Gradle supposed to be installed?

When running Android source code there is frequently an error message that says the user needs to install a later version of Gradle. How do we do that; where does it go?

Hi AI answer

On Windows:

  • Go to:
    C:\Users\YourUsername\Documents\Processing\android\mode\gradle\wrapper
    • (or where Processing is installed, e.g., C:\Program Files\Processing\android\mode\gradle\wrapper)

On macOS:

  • Go to:
    /Applications/Processing.app/Contents/Java/modes/android/gradle/wrapper
    (or ~/Documents/Processing/android/mode/gradle/wrapper if installed in user space)

On Linux:

  • Check:
    /usr/local/processing/android/mode/gradle/wrapper
    or
    ~/processing/android/mode/gradle/wrapper

I’m going to try it; thank you very much.

Addendum:
It’s not quite where AI said it would be; sometimes things get moved from one version to the next. I found gradle-wrapper.jar buried at the following URL on my operating system (macOS M2):
Documents/Processing/modes/AndroidMode/mode/gradlew/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.jar. According to accompanying file it is version 7.4.1. Had no luck finding it in the app bundle.
