How to solve gradle installation error using sdkman

Question

Has anyone experienced this problem?

When trying to install gradle 4.4 the following error is displayed:

user@test:~$ sdk install gradle 4.4

Downloading: gradle 4.4

In progress...

Warning: Failed to open /home/user/.sdkman/tmp/gradle-4.4.headers.tmp curl: (23) Failed writing received data to disk/application mv: unable to get status '/home/user/.sdkman/tmp/gradle-4.4.bin': Missing file or directory

I removed and reinstalled SDKMAN several times and was unsuccessful


user@test:~$ sdk version

SDKMAN 5.16.0

Ubuntu v20.04

Answer 1

This is because maybe you are using curl installed from snap. Try use curl from apt:

$ sudo snap remove curl
$ sudo apt install curl

Answer 2

Had similar issues which were solved by creating the missing ~/.sdkman/tmp folder.

mkdir ~/.sdkman/tmp

Errors for search purposes:

bash: line 153: /Users/user/.sdkman/tmp/sdkman-5.18.2.zip: No such file or directory
'curl --fail --location --progress-bar "${SDKMAN_SERVICE}/broker/download/sdkman/selfupdate/${SDKMAN_VERSION}/${SDKMAN_PLATFORM}" > "$sdkman_zip_file"': command failed with exit code 1.
