In this short tutorial we will learn how to install Apache Groovy on Ubuntu 22.04 Linux operating system. Apache Groovy is a Java-syntax-compatible object-oriented programming language for the Java platform. It is both a static and dynamic language with features similar to those of Python, Ruby, and Smalltalk. For this tutorial, will use Apache Groovy version 4.0.6 which was provided at Apache Groovy official website.
Apache Groovy can be used as both a programming language and a scripting language. It integrates smoothly with any Java program, and immediately delivers to your application powerful features, including scripting capabilities, Domain-Specific Language authoring, runtime and compile-time meta-programming and functional programming.
Installing Apache Groovy 4.0.6 on Ubuntu 22.04
In this tutorial we will install Apache Groovy by using SDKMAN.
Prerequisites
Before we start to install Apache Groovy, there are several prerequisites that must be met so that the installation process can run smoothly. We will need to prepare any requirements as mention below :
- an Ubuntu 22.04 system
- a non-root user with sudo privileges
- sufficient disk and good internet access
Apache Groovy 4.0 requires Java 8+ with support for up to Java 16 to run properly on the system. We will ensure the java has been installed on the system by querying its version. If there is no java installed on our system then we must install it before continuing the next process.
$ java -version
Output :
ramans@infodiginet:~$ java --version openjdk 11.0.17 2022-10-18 OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 11.0.17+8-post-Ubuntu-1ubuntu222.04) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.0.17+8-post-Ubuntu-1ubuntu222.04, mixed mode, sharing)
We have had java 11.0.17 installed on the system.
The Apache Groovy installation will be consist of several steps as follow :
The detailed tasks will be explained in the sub-chapter below.
1. Update Ubuntu System
The first step of Apache Groovy installation is to update local packages software. We will use command line :
$ sudo apt update $ sudo apt upgrade
2. Install SDKMAN
The Groovy installation on this tutorial, will be done through SDKAMAN, so we need to first install this software development kit manager by submitting command line :
$ sudo curl -s "https://get.sdkman.io" | bash
Output :
ramans@infodiginet:~$ sudo curl -s "https://get.sdkman.io" | bash

You are subscribed to the STABLE channel.
Please open a new terminal, or run the following in the existing one:
source "/home/ramans/.sdkman/bin/sdkman-init.sh"
Then issue the following command:
sdk help
Enjoy!!!
Then we will submit source command line to initialize SDKMAN.
$ source "$HOME/.sdkman/bin/sdkman-init.sh"
3. Installing Apache Groovy
After SDKMAN is installed successfully, then we will install groovy by issuing command line :
$ sdk install groovy
Output :
ramans@infodiginet:~$ sdk install groovy ==== BROADCAST ================================================================= * 2022-12-20: vertx 4.3.7 available on SDKMAN! * 2022-12-20: quarkus 2.13.6.Final available on SDKMAN! https://github.com/quarkusio/quarkus/releases/tag/2.13.6.Final * 2022-12-20: micronaut 3.7.5 available on SDKMAN! ================================================================================ Downloading: groovy 4.0.6 In progress... ############################################################################################################### 100,0% Installing: groovy 4.0.6 Done installing! Setting groovy 4.0.6 as default.
4. Verify Groovy Installation
After Groovy installation is completedly done, then we will verify it by querying its version, as shown below:
$ groovy -version
Output :
ramans@infodiginet:~$ groovy -version Groovy Version: 4.0.6 JVM: 11.0.17 Vendor: Ubuntu OS: Linux
Conclusion
In this short tutorial, we have learn how to install Apache Groovy verson 4.0.6 using SDKMAN. I hope it will be helpful.
