Grace CLI requires Java JDK v17.0 or above in order to run. Groovy v4.0.x is packaged as part of this distribution, and therefore does not need to be installed (any existing Groovy installation is ignored).

Grace CLI will use whatever JDK it finds on your path, to check that you have an appropriate version you should run:

Alternatively, you can set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to point a suitable JDK.

No specific environment variables are required to run the CLI, however, you may want to set GRACE_HOME to point to a specific installation. You should also add GRACE_HOME/bin to your PATH environment variable.

To test if you have successfully installed the CLI you can run the following command:

If you see the output like below, congratulations, you have installed it successfully.
