We want to build it in Kotlin, so select the implementation language ‘ Kotlin‘ (4). For a Hello World, you’ll want to pick ‘ application‘ (2).

This starts an interactive wizard which lets you pick what kind of project for Gradle to manage.įirst, select the type of the project. Inside the project folder, use Gradle to initialize a Kotlin project gradle init Once those installs are complete, create a project folder (mine is in ~/src/kotlin-helloworld) and navigate to it. Next you’ll want to install the Kotlin snap as well as the Gradle build tool to help manage your project. There’s a good chance you already have a version of java installed, but just in case you don’t: sudo apt install openjdk Since Kotlin compiles to java, you’ll need a version of java installed.

You’ll need to set up your environment to compile and run Kotlin projects.
