Hi there,

Gradle uses the Java distribution defined in your JAVA_HOME environment variable, you need to make sure that So make sure that the JAVA_HOME variable is set to a valid JDK 11 path.

To check if this is the case:

gradle --version

And then check your JAVA_HOME variable:

echo $JAVA_HOME

For more information on how to set that up, check out this tutorial here:
