Setting up gradle - Arch Linux
First things first you need to install docker first. To do it you will have to consult pacman with the following command sudo pacman -S docker. After it has installed everything for you it is optional but sometimes handy to install docker-compose as well. To do that, run sudo pacman -S docker-compose.
After docker has been installed on your system, pull the gradle image as written here by running sudo docker pull gradle.

Running the samples - Arch Linux
When docker based gradle is fetched you can run the commands from the editor of choice. Since I show the examples in VSCode I would suggest using it. As it is written on the gradle docker webpage you can run the examples from the sample’s root directory, by running the command docker run --rm -u gradle -v "$PWD":/home/gradle/project -w /home/gradle/project gradle gradle <gradle-task>.
