I have a very simple question. I am brand new to Mac and I am trying to get my Java project moved over to my new Mac. The project has a Gradlew file that I thought I could run from the command line to build and run on any machine. When I do gradlew from the command line (in the location of the gradlew file) it says gradlew not found. Am I missing something on how to run a command from a bash shell?

./gradlew

Your directory with gradlew is not included in the PATH, so you must specify path to the gradlew. . means "current directory".
