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

Solution 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.

Solution 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

Solution 3:

1 Close Android Studio (AS)

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

3 Run AS as admin

4 Sync your project files

Solution 4:

First check your Internet conection..

or try with

Tools -> Android -> Sync

or Try

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