Pro Tip:

The location of the Gradle installation varies based on the operating system and installation method:

• Windows: If installed using the Windows installer, it will be located at:

  C:\Gradle\gradle-version

  For example, Gradle 6.8.3 will be at:

  C:\Gradle\gradle-6.8.3

• macOS and Linux: If installed using the binary distribution, it will be in the directory where it was extracted. For example, if installed in the /opt directory, it will be at:

  /opt/gradle/gradle-version

• Package Manager: If installed through a package manager, the location may vary.
• Custom Location: Gradle can also be installed in a custom location specified during the installation process.

It's important to note that the Gradle installation location is not critical for the build process, as long as the GRADLE_HOME environment variable is set correctly and the gradle command is in the system’s PATH. This ensures that build scripts can use the gradle command regardless of the installation location.
