it will automatically get installed from internet while creating your first project. After that you can set the gradle as local path from gradle settings under File>Settings > Gradle. — Piyush Agarwal

If you have installed your gradle with brew then it would be:

/usr/local/Cellar/gradle/<version>/libexec/

This answer is the one that worked for me for IntelliJ! Lifesaver.

Try using this path:

For Windows

C:\Users\MyHome\.gradle\wrapper\dists\gradle-1.6-bin\<some random folder>\gradle-1.6

For UNIX (Debian, Mac etc.)

~/.gradle/wrapper/dists/gradle-<a-version>-<bin or all>/<some random folder>/gradle-<a-version>

What will be "some random folder" ?

Azurespot Over a year ago

Yeah, I don't know where that random folder is supposed to come from either.

This is not necessarily the solution for Mac (see answer below)

Point to the folder <gradle root folder>/libexec. Things should start working.

When using homebrew, instead of (as suggested in other answers):

/usr/local/Cellar/gradle/<version>/libexec/

It's better to use:

/usr/local/opt/gradle/libexec

It's a symlink and will survive brew upgrade.

Create a build.gradle with:

task getHomeDir << { println gradle.gradleHomeDir }

Then run it with:

gradle getHomeDir

You should see something like:

/usr/local/Cellar/gradle/1.6/libexec

You can use that to populate the Gradle plugin, and you’re off.

If you use brew to install gradle on mac, then use /usr/local/Cellar/gradle/4.0.1/libexec
