but i’m getting this error:

Error: terminated(1): /usr/local/bin/gradle --version output:

Can you post the output of skip checkup? Also, is this an Intel or ARM Mac?

[adamvnovak]

This is an ARM Mac.

Here is the output of skip checkup:

Skip thinks Gradle is not installed, but it seems to be installed.

[adamvnovak]

Even after reinstalling Gradle Skip says there's an error executing it

[marcprux]

I think the issue is that your Homebrew installation was carried over from a previous Intel Mac. Homebrew on ARM installs packages under /opt/homebrew/bin/, whereas on Intel it installs under /usr/local/bin/. If you run which gradle, you will probably see /opt/homebrew/bin/gradle. Skip's various tools don't work well under the Rosetta emulation that you are likely falling back to when invoking the various x86-built tools under ARM.

This is a common problem whose easiest solution is to just uninstall Homebrew and re-install it from scratch, then install Skip again and ensure that skip checkup passes.

Thank you! This pointed me in the right direction. It was actually not my Homebrew that was installed in the wrong direction, it was my Java version that was not being referenced properly. I had to reinstall java and things worked properly.
