Could not install Gradle distribution from 'https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.1-all.zip'

Question

I am a greenhorn in gradle and i just tried to create a new Android Gradle Project in IntelliJ. After filling up the necessities it started to download something which took hours so i decided to force quit my IDE and open the project again.

And now I am getting this:

And when I open the IDE logs, I see this:

2014-12-13 22:27:37,940 [103759372]   INFO - .BaseProjectImportErrorHandler - Failed to import Gradle project at '/Users/ramswaroop/Documents/My Workspace/PopoPics'

Answer 1

It could be that the gradle-2.1 distribution specified by the wrapper was not downloaded properly. This was the root cause of the same problem in my environment.

Look into this directory:

ls -l ~/.gradle/wrapper/dists/

In there you should find a gradle-2.1 folder. Delete it like so:

rm -rf ~/.gradle/wrapper/dists/gradle-2.1-bin/

Restart IntelliJ, after that it will restart the download from the beginning and hopefully work.

Gothicism

tanks, man, if help, just try to sync project again and its work, so you does not need to restart your IDE, but if necessary to restart, ok restart it – Muscatel

As well as doing this, it's worth clicking the URL in the error message to check if you can download the zip file via the browser. Turns out I couldn't because of the network I was on which was blocking that URL. – Revkah

It didn't work for me. I had to remove all gradle files (wrapper, daemon and caches), And then i selected the "invalidate caches and restar" option – Breadstuff

Thanks! I also tried with just a gradle sync after deleting the folder, and it worked! – Taradiddle

Answer 2

If you are on Windows, you can go to:

C:\Users\{your_name}\.gradle

And delete all the references of the gradle package you can find in those folders:

1. caches
2. daemon
3. wrapper

Then re-open your project and sync gradle

Hi, I am getting Exception --Could not install Gradle distribution from 'services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.1.1-all.zip'. I have tried with above solution but didn't worked.Please help me on this. – Disturbance

Hi, no need to delete all these files, just delete C:\Users\User\.gradle\wrapper\dists\gradle-4.4-all and proceed to sync – Lightproof

@Disturbance Also try to Run your Android Studio as Administrator, I've spend days and hours to resolve this issue. – Plainspoken

Answer 3

1 Close Android Studio (AS)

2 Delete the folder in C:\Users\ username \ .gradle\wrapper\dists\gradle-2.1-all

3 Run as admin

4 Sync your project files

Consuelaconsuelo

I did not have that folder in the dists folder, for me it was simply to run AS as administrator. – Intelligent

Answer 4

First check your Internet conection..

or try with

Tools -> Android -> Sync

or Try

File -> Settings -> Gradle -> Check Offline Work

Goda

I have no option called Sync under Tools > Android in IntelliJ. And of course I am connected to internet. Did u check the logs? – Quarta

I have all other options except Sync Project with Gradle Files – Quarta

Ok... can you find out any ICON of Sync ? – Goda

Hey, I don't know how but my gradle started working. Anyways, thank you very much for your time. But still I haven't figured out the root cause. – Quarta

I connected to internet and restart the android studio and the gradle file auto downloaded, Thanks. – Proboscis

Answer 5

you should also check if you are connecting via proxy. If there is a proxy set it up using File > Settings > Appearance and Behavior > System settings > HTTP Proxy

Yarkand

In my case it was a proxy issue. – Damages

Answer 6

I cannot believe the below solution, but it did solve it. in gradle-wrapper.properties file: change

distributionUrl=http\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.1.1-all.zip

to

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.1.1-all.zip

Prytaneum

Just had this issue importing an old project. Apprently, gradle discontinued their http links. In my case I was dealing with gradle-1.10-all.zip – Viguerie

In my case, It could not download at all. I downloaded manually and set the url as shown here pointing to a local file with file\://.... – Hastie

Answer 7

I had the same problem. (My problem is with gradle 4.4 files)

Actually the problem is incorrect downloading of 4.4 gradle which already I had. When I delete gradle 4.4 version C:\Users\$Your_User\.gradle\wrapper\dists\gradle-4.4-all

Android studio again downloads gradle-4.4 and syncs with my project.

Now it had rectified with the help of Michelin Man

Thanks for your answer Michelin

Hi, I am getting Exception --Could not install Gradle distribution from 'services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.1.1-all.zip'. I have tried with above solution but didn't worked.Please help me on this. – Disturbance

Answer 8

https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.1-all.zip

open this link in the browser and download the zip file and extract it to folder

Before extraction please delete the old folder whose name ends gradle-2.1-all and then you can start extracting

if you are window user extract it to this folder

C:\Users{Your-Name}.gradle\wrapper\dists

after that just restart your android studio. I hope it works it works for me .

Hi, I am getting Exception --Could not install Gradle distribution from 'services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.1.1-all.zip'. I have tried with above solution but didn't worked.Please help me on this. – Disturbance

Answer 9

For me, it was just close the android studio and restart as Administrator.

Beaird

Answer 10

If all above solutions is not working and In case of your project was working fine and now getting this issue, then try this,

• go to android studio setting.
• select gradle under build,execution.
• then again just set path of gradle user home (C:/Users/%user_name%/.gradle/wrapper/dists/gradle-6.5-bin)
• just rebuild again, this helps me.

Saccharate

This was the issue for me. I had a separate path which I put in there by mistake earlier. Changing gradle user home to the above path solved it for me. – Bream

Answer 11

It could be that the corresponding Gradle version was not downloaded properly.

You could delete the broken file at

rm -rf .gradle/wrapper/dists/

and restart studio.

or try

File -> Settings -> Gradle -> Check Offline Work

and download the file from the official site and extract to the destination location

.gradle/wrapper/dists/

Nectareous

Answer 12

In my case, the problem was that I was not connected to the same VPN with which I installed Android Studio, I do not know why it happens, but even if I have internet access, if I am not connected to the original VPN, the downloads from IDE do not work correctly.

I connected the VPN, I did the gradle again and finally it started to download and install everything correctly. I also checked that I didn't go through any proxy or anything similar in my Android configuration.

Jopa

Answer 13

I recently had this same error, but it was due to an outbound firewall / monitoring tool silently killing the download requests in the background.

Sometimes the problem isn't Android Studio or your gradle configuration at all!

Bedwarmer

Answer 14

In Android Studio, if you open the Design window for the app, there is error message about Gradle being not synched properly. Next to the error, there is a 'Try Again' button. If you click on that, Android studio tries to sycn up again.

That worked for me.

Tolentino

Answer 15

In my case I had to go to

File -> Settings -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Gradle

and then I changed the Service directory path, which was pointing to a wrong location.

Coelenterate

Answer 16

1. Delete .gradle data
2. CtrlAltS then navigate to File -> Settings -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Compiler then check "Sync project with gradle before building, if needed".

My problem was fixed with this method.

Answer 17

Change the distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.1-bin.zip from the Your project folder\gradle\wrapper\gradle-wrapper.properties to new one.

Preprandial

Answer 18

what worked for me is

distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.2.2-all.zip

Didynamous

Answer 19

One more reason for this error (assuming that gradle properly setup) is incompatibility between andorid.gradle tools and gradle itself - check out this answer for the complete compatibility table.

In my case the error was the same as in the question and the stacktrace as following:

java.lang.NullPointerException
    at java.util.Objects.requireNonNull(Objects.java:203)
    at com.android.build.gradle.BasePlugin.lambda$configureProject$1(BasePlugin.java:436)

    at org.gradle.internal.event.AbstractBroadcastDispatch.dispatch(AbstractBroadcastDispatch.java:42)
    ...

I've fixed that by upgrading com.android.tools.build:gradle to the current latest 3.1.4

buildscript {
    repositories {
        ...
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.4'
    }
}

Gradle version is 4.6

Abba

Answer 20

I was facing the same problem in IntelliJ. It was working from command line though.

I found the issue was because of an improper Gradle config in the IDE. I wasn't using the "default Gradle wrapper" as recommended:

Blatt

Answer 21

On MAC Remove gradle-2.1-all folder from the following path /Users/amitsapra/.gradle/wrapper/dists/gradle-2.1-all and then try gradle build again. I faced same issues with 5.4.1-all.

It takes a little time but fixes everything

Clementclementas

Answer 22

For me, the reason is that the gradle.zip IDE downloaded is broken (I cannot uncompress it manually), and following steps help.

1. gradle sync, and it says could not install from ${link}, ${gralde.zip} ...
2. download from ${link} manually
3. go to the ${gradle.zip}'s location
4. replace the ${gradle.zip} with the one downloaded, remove the .lck file on the same path.
5. gradle sync.

Note:

• ${link} is something like https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.6-all.zip
• ${gradle.zip} looks like ~/.gradle/wrapper/dists/gradle-${version}-all/${a-serial-string}/gradle-${version}-all.zip

Answer 23

I have also recieved this issue inside of InteliJ.

Go to the gradle/wrapper folder and modify distributionUrl inside of gradle-wrapper.properties to a correct version.

distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
distributionPath=wrapper/dists
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.5-bin.zip
zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
zipStorePath=wrapper/dists

Cuspidation

Answer 24

It also disturb me a lot but now it is fine The solution is very simple (written blow) [window (android studio)]

1. go to C:\Users\your user name.gradle
2. open wrapper/dists and delete the folder that is distrubing you in my case --gradle-6.5--
3. then go back to .gradle folder and this time open daemon folder and delete the folder with same number that is disturbing you in my case --6.5--
4. Then again go back to .gradle folder and this time open caches folder and delete the folder with same number that is disturbing you in my case --6.5--
5. now if your android studio is open then close it and again start it but this time with administrator mode by right clicking on the icon of android studio icon it is important
6. you should have internet connection and now your android studio will setup every thing by its own (please don't distrub it while it is doing its operation)

Averment

Answer 25

I solve it by downloading zip file from https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.1-all.zip manually, put it inside C:\Users\<username>\.gradle, and sync.

Then restart the Android studio .....hope your problem is solved now

Tarrasa

Answer 27

In my case I solved the problem with

1. Ctrl + Shift+ F
2. Type 2.1 or just type the version of the gradle that can't be installed
3. replace the version of gradle with the correct one in the gradle-Wrapper.properties File in my case I replaced it with 6.1.1

Answer 29

1. Download directly from Gradle: https://services.gradle.org/distributions/ Choose the relative version, pay attention to the name behind the version
2. Open the folder as shown enter image description here You can delete the contents in the wrapper folder before, replace it with the Gradle file you just downloaded, and unzip it. After unzipping, you can delete the compressed file.
3. Open Gradle settings. Modify the path problem, and then synchronize it. There should be no problem

Teletype

Answer 30

Here is what worked for me on windows 10.

Close my project. Close Android Studio. Run Android Studio. Open project.

Android studio takes a few minutes while everything sorts itself out.

I thought that maybe Android Studio just needed sufficient rights to extract and put the files in all the right locations and possibly set the path variables.

Rede

Answer 31

Add username and password in distributionUrl:

distributionUrl = https://username:[email protected]/vdca-mobile-maven/gradle-5.4.1-all.zip

Note: no need to encoded base64 for either username or password.

TL:DR

I encountered the issue when I tried to download gradle in android studio from our custom maven artifactory.

It forbids 'anonymous' access of artifacts in Artifactory

This initiative aims to disable 'anonymous' access of artifacts in Artifactory and enforces users to authenticate to read any artifact from Artifactory. This is done for obvious security reasons and to create an audit trail for artifacts accessed.

I can verify it when I open logs of Android Studio idea.log (Help -> Show log in Finder)

BTW, this way below does not work for me

Using system properties can be done in the .gradle/gradle.properties file in the user’s home directory

Specifying the HTTP Basic Authentication credentials using system properties

systemProp.gradle.wrapperUser=username
systemProp.gradle.wrapperPassword=password

Answer 32

For the peeps that are using Ionic/Cordova, remove node_modules, platforms, and plugins folders

rm -rf node_modules platforms plugins

Re-install everything

npm i && ionic cordova platform add android

After that open platforms/android/project.properties file

It was like this for me

target=android-29
android.library.reference.1=CordovaLib
android.library.reference.2=app
cordova.system.library.1=com.android.billingclient:billing:3.0.0
cordova.system.library.2=com.google.android.gms:play-services-analytics:+
cordova.system.library.3=com.android.installreferrer:installreferrer:2.1
cordova.system.library.4=androidx.legacy:legacy-support-v4:1.0.0
cordova.system.library.5=androidx.legacy:legacy-support-v4:1.0.0
cordova.system.library.6=androidx.legacy:legacy-support-v4:1.0.0
cordova.system.library.7=com.google.android.gms:play-services-analytics:11.0.1
cordova.system.library.8=androidx.annotation:annotation:1.1.0
cordova.system.library.9=androidx.legacy:legacy-support-v4:1.0.0
cordova.system.library.10=androidx.legacy:legacy-support-v4:1.0.0
cordova.system.library.11=androidx.legacy:legacy-support-v4:1.+
cordova.system.library.12=androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.+
cordova.system.library.13=com.onesignal:OneSignal:3.16.0
cordova.gradle.include.1=onesignal-cordova-plugin/MyApp-build-extras-onesignal.gradle

Remove all duplicates and everything that targets version:+, so the file looked something like this afterward

target=android-29
android.library.reference.1=CordovaLib
android.library.reference.2=app
cordova.system.library.1=com.android.billingclient:billing:3.0.0
cordova.system.library.3=com.android.installreferrer:installreferrer:2.1
cordova.system.library.4=androidx.legacy:legacy-support-v4:1.0.0
cordova.system.library.7=com.google.android.gms:play-services-analytics:11.0.1
cordova.system.library.8=androidx.annotation:annotation:1.1.0
cordova.system.library.12=androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.0.0
cordova.system.library.13=com.onesignal:OneSignal:3.16.0
cordova.gradle.include.1=onesignal-cordova-plugin/Artinove-build-extras-onesignal.gradle

Build your project

ionic cordova build android

And all should work then.

Answer 36

Method 1:-

go to:

C:\Users{your_user_name}.gradle

And go to each folder and check that your gradle(gradle-x.x-all)

which mentioned in the error exists, delete all the references Gradle package from all folders.

Then open Android Studio as "Run As Admin"

Method 2:-

go to error message link and download mentioned gradle : https://downloads.gradle-dn.com/distributions/gradle-x.x.x-bin.zip

after that extract in .gradle\wrapper\dists and open Android studio again but as "Run As Admin"**

Answer 37

Using a VPN fixed it for me.

After trying most of the already given solutions, I tried downloading that specific version manually from the release page(https://services.gradle.org/distributions/), but I got an error. Checking the console, it was a 401(unauthorized) error.

I downloaded Proton VPN, used the free account and the default location (Netherlands) and retried downloading from the release page, it worked and I retried in Android studio and it was a success.
