How to do a nightly build using Gradle?

Question

I can build my android project in command line with ./gradlew assembleDebug but how do I automate this so Gradle builds itself once every day? Is there any way to do this without downloading something additional like Jenkins?

If you're on Linux and can do it from the command line, you should look into CRON. That's built into every Linux install I've ever seen.

Use can use crontab to automate without downloading any package type crontab -e

*     *     *     *     *  Command to be executed

Min (0 - 59)
Hour (0 - 23)
Day of month (1 - 31)
Month (1 - 12)
Day of week (0-7)

lets say if you want to automate everyday around 22:00

0 21 * * * ./gradlew assembleDebug
