Hello, I am unable to download gradle to my AWS IPV6 only instance because github doesn't support ipv6 ( doesn't have a AAAA address for the URL I m trying to access ) and wget or curl fails, so is there any way other than this to install gradle. I also tried snap and sdkman, snap fails due to same issue and sdkman also doesn't support IPV6 it seems.

How is GitHub not supporting ipv6 related? Actually, you should practically never need to install Gradle at all, but always use the wrapper to execute a build which will take care to provision the correct version. But if you must, just use the official download and you are not hitting GitHub.

Official Download has Github link only and that doesn’t support IPV6 stack
wrapper also tries to collect gradle from the same link ( github gradle release )
v
So you don't want to install Gradle but clone or? That's something completely different
k
No dude this thread is for clone, download and everything IPV6 , I just want to install and not clone LOL
This link redirects to github release link - check once I did try more than 5 times
v
Oh, sorry, must have remembered wrongly, I thought they use some other CDN. Or it changed.
But what it redirects should support ipv6 according to the thread you posted, shouldn't it?
k
They don't It's an existing Github issue and they don't plan to solve it or have an ETA currently
v
Can you maybe download it somewhere else and push it to your AWS box instead?
Yup did that only , but it is just a temporary solution to download locally and scp it to my AWS systems
If you guys can host the release from github to someplace else it would be a great help to lots of users
The DNSChecker shows no AAAA records present for the domain

"you guys" I'm just a user like you, this is a community space.

You should probably open a feature request on GitHub for a chance to get this changed.

I expect you'll encounter many other things that don't work unless you have NAT64 or other ways to communicate with IPv4-only hosts
