Cordova requirements failed

I just start learning cordova, and I can't pass the requirements step.

Cordova v7.0.1

Android Studio 2.3.3

I'm not sure at all what should I do. I think that I installed everything right.

$ cordova requirements

Solution

  • Unsupported major.minor version 52.0

    Means Java 8 bytecode, this means the JVM that gradle is running in is an older version. You should check java -version to see what the default JVM is and possibly update the JAVA_HOME environment variable so the Java 8 JDK is used.
