Solution

  • Follow these steps to solve your problem.

    $java -version
    

    Remove latest version of java(i.e. 10 or 11) because gradle is not compatible with java 10 and 11.Instal java 7/8/9.

    $sudo apt-get purge openjdk-\*
    
    Then
    
    $ sudo apt-get update
    
    $apt-cache search openjdk
    $sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jre openjdk-8-jdk
    $cd grobid
    
    $./gradlew run
