Thanks for the pointer. We should add that to the documentation for Windows based builds. As I said, I got the build working with gradle and all is well. Problem is getting it running – the next step. No such luck there.

As I said, I was able to build successfully and move on with the changes I made, although they required an investment of time to research. So, I was just passing those solutions along. I want to remind you that I am doing this on Windows 10. And while folks have said that the OS should not matter, Gradle 5.6, as installed, does NOT have gradlew. That is certainly what I tried first as the instructions said to. Now, there might be a way to run gradlew on Windows, but I chose the “easier” path, and perhaps it turned out to be the harder path.

Michael has a little typo, you need to use ./gradlew (or ./gradlew.bat) insead of "gradle". You probably have Gradle 5 in your path which is not compatible (run "gradle --version" to see what version you have). Also if you absolutely want to use locally installed Gradle instead of Gradle Wrapper (gradlew) - sometimes I have done this with IntelliJ not using Gradle Wrapper for some reason then you need to download gradle 4.10.3 to your local computer and make changes to the Path variable so that when you type "gralde --version" it reports this version number.

Instead of installing Gradle yourself and using "gradle" as the command, try using ./gradlewt to see if that helps?

It is Fineract-CN code itself. Have you done any change or is a fresh clone ?

But then I got an error: org.gradle.api.tasks.TaskExecutionException: Execution failed for task ':licenseMain' This was ultimately resolved by adding the following lines to the license section of the build.gradle file: skipExistingHeaders true ignoreFailures true and adding the following lines before the license section gradle.startParameter.excludedTaskNames += "licenseMain" gradle.startParameter.excludedTaskNames += "licenseTest" Don’t know how relevant this is to the rest of the community for builds done on Ubuntu, the preferred OS. So, it is up to you guys to decide whether you want to create a JIRA to rectify some or all of this, or ignore it. Rohit
