As Python, Groovy is also a Dynamic language and the superset of java. The syntax of groovy is also like python and an advantage it doesn't need indentation. Normal JAVA JVM is used to compile groovy scripts with a single jar groovy-all.jar.

java -cp .:groovy-2.4.13.jar groovy.ui.GroovyMain Code.groovy

A Groovy script can be run by java by adding classpath like shown above code. Refer More with the official Groovy doc.

Download the latest Groovy binary from the official page. Unzip:

unzip apache-groovy-binary-*.*.*.zip

Place this code on ~/.bashrc or run directly on console.

Environment

export GROOVY_HOME=/path/to/uzip
export PATH=$PATH:$GROOVY_HOME/bin

Normal print line code like print by PYTHON, can be executed from the file hello.groovy,

println "Hello_world"

To run this code execute the cli command,

groovy hello.groovy

// File: Sample.groovy
package io.github.bhanuchander210.learnGroovy
println 'Hello from Groovy'

Initially This packages should be compiled from the command groovyc and it can be run from java like shown below.

$ groovyc Sample.groovy
$ java -cp .:$GROOVY_HOME/embeddable/groovy-all-1.6.5.jar io.github.bhanuchander210.learnGroovy.Sample
Hello from Groovy
