Hi, Those instructions simply fell out of date -- you can see in the README in the repository that the first step after checkout is to bootstrap the gradle wrapper. The wrapper is not included due to licensing issues when creating packages from the repository. I've updated the wiki to explain how to generate the wrapper before building (which is still useful since you can generate the wrapper with different versions of gradle, but it will build with the version specified by the project).
