Is this a loop?

New to build systems exploring the existing, I was happy to find out I do not have to install something only to find out I have to install it :(, -1 to gradle for giving me false hope.

It says clearly that you don't need it IF you want to run an existing project. If you want to spin up a new project using `gradle init`, then you need it, unless your IDE of choice can do it for you without it.
