+# How to upgrade the Gradle version
+
+Visit the [Gradle website](https://gradle.org/releases/) and decide the:
+* desired version
+* desired distribution type
+* what is the sha256 for the version and type chosen
+
+Adjust the following command with tha arguments above and execute it twice:
+
+
+    ./gradlew wrapper --gradle-version 6.6.1 \
+        --distribution-type all \
+        --gradle-distribution-sha256-sum 11657af6356b7587bfb37287b5992e94a9686d5c8a0a1b60b87b9928a2decde5
+
+
+The first execution should automatically update `bisq/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties`
+
+The second execution should update:
+* `bisq/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.jar`
+* `bisq/gradlew`
+* `bisq/gradlew.bat`
+
+The four updated files are ready to be committed.
