Appendix A ■ Installing Tools<br />

Installing Gradle on a Mac OS X or Linux<br />

Remember that you need to have the GVM installed already, and this is because Gradle depends on it. So, to install<br />

Gradle on a Mac or a Linux computer, just execute the next command:<br />

$ gvm install gradle<br />

You can test your Gradle tool by executing<br />

$ gradle -v<br />

Installing Groovy<br />

Groovy is another programming language that you will need to use from the start of the book. Groovy has become one<br />

of the most important dynamic languages in the JVM ecosystem, providing many features that other languages have<br />

borrowed, even the new JDK 8—features like closures!<br />

For information about Groovy news and latest releases, go to http://groovy.codehaus.org (as shown in<br />

Figure A-23).<br />
