Pop!_OS / Ubuntu Installation

1. Update & Clone

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install git
git clone https://github.com/trav-d13/Linux-Build

2 Auto-Install

Using the script, run the following:

bash install.sh

3. Binaries

a. Gradle

You can install gradle using apt install gradle but apt usually does not hold the most up to date gradle version; this can be found and installed below.

download binary here https://gradle.org/releases/ of gradle-7.4.2-bin.zip (most recent at time of writing) then navigate to folder and run:

unzip gradle-7.4.2-bin.zip                    // extract the files
sudo mv gradle-7.4.2 /opt/                    // move the files into /opt/ folder
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/gradle-7.4.2/bin       // Set the path to the binary temporarily (in this shell)

For a permanent path edit: vim ~/.bashrc and add: PATH=$PATH:/opt/gradle-7.4.2/bin to the end of the file

You can test this by closing the terminal, opening a new one, and running gradle --version

Troublehsooting If the following error presents:

WARNING: An illegal reflective access operation has occurred

ensure that the apt version of gradle has been removed using sudo apt remove gradle and test again.
