How do I make GVM recognize my existing Grails and Groovy installations?

Question

I currently have set up Grails 2.3.0 and 2.3.11 inside /opt directory. How I avoid re-installing by making GVM recognize them as existing candidates?

i think simlink to `~/.gvm/grails/` will help – Igor Artamonov Oct 13 '14 at 08:46 — Igor Artamonov, Oct 13 '14 at 08:46

Move each of the directories to ~/.gvm/grails/<version> (e.g. from /opt/grails-2.4.3 to ~/.gvm/grails/2.4.3) and symlink those back to /opt... or vice versa.

EDIT for sdkman

sdkman replaced GVM. use ~/.sdkman instead of ~/.gvm

Thanks! Do I symlink all the files or the top directory? Can you `ls` and send me one of your `~/.gvm/grails/`? – Alexander Suraphel Oct 13 '14 at 08:49
@AlexanderSuraphel I have added an example, that should make this clear – cfrick Oct 13 '14 at 08:54
Thanks! Got it now. when do I symlink to for my existing groovy installations? – Alexander Suraphel Oct 13 '14 at 08:57
@AlexanderSuraphel Groovy is the same, but into `~/.gvm/groovy`. – cfrick Oct 13 '14 at 09:00
