Install gradle with SDKMAN.

1. Install SDKMAN. To do this, open Terminal and run

   $ curl -s "https://get.sdkman.io" | bash
   

2. Run the below command to add SDKMAN path to ~/.bash_profile.

   source $HOME/.sdkman/bin/sdkman-init.sh
   

   NOTE: Check ~/.bash_profile file to verfiy if SDKMAN is added. If you do not see the entry for SDKMAN at the end of the file, add these line to ~/.bash_profile manually.

       ```
   
       #THIS MUST BE AT THE END OF THE FILE FOR SDKMAN TO WORK!!!
       export SDKMAN_DIR="/Users/pavanpkulkarni/.sdkman"
       [[ -s "/Users/pavanpkulkarni/.sdkman/bin/sdkman-init.sh" ]] && source "/Users/pavanpkulkarni/.sdkman/bin/sdkman-init.sh"
       ``` 
   

3. Run source ~/bash_profile to reflect the changes. Open a new tab in terminal. Verify installation by running

   Pavans-MacBook-Pro:~ pavanpkulkarni$ sdk version
   
   SDKMAN 5.6.2+294
   

4. To install your desired version of gradle, run

   Pavans-MacBook-Pro:~ pavanpkulkarni$ sdk install gradle 4.6
   

5. Verify your installation by running

   Pavans-MacBook-Pro:~ pavanpkulkarni$ gradle --version
