Run executables in gradlew

Question

How can I run the mvn executable from the gradle wrapper?

 task install(type: Exec, dependsOn: assemble) {
   description = "Som description."
   executable = 'mvn'
   args = ["install:install-file", <more-args-here>]
 }

I can access the command from the terminal normally. I also added MAVEN_HOME in the Path Variables but looks like gradlew can still not find the command.

Depends on your OS. If you are on Windows try to rewrite your task into this

task install(type: Exec, dependsOn: assemble) {
    description = "Som description."
    commandLine 'cmd', '/c', 'mvn', 'install:install-file', <more-args-here>
}

On linux go for

task install(type: Exec, dependsOn: assemble) {
    description = "Som description."
    commandLine './mvn', 'install:install-file', <more-args-here>
}
