gt The archive was corrupt and has been removed I saw this error about a half year ago with one of Kotlin versions installed from sdkman I think this is a corrupted distribution of Kotlin in sdkman distro Which version do you install 1 1 3 2 works fine for me

gildor · Answer

< havok> so not sure but it s some sdkman issue maybe if you install If you just want to play with kotlin or build some real app I highly recommend you to install Idea and create project there just Idea project or Gradle project with Kotlin support It s just easier and more productive than command line compiler

havok · Answer

I saw others have this problem as well but nobody posted a resolution

gildor · Answer

I think it s a broken distibution archive in sdkman

gildor · Answer

Did you try to install particular version ```sdk install kotlin 1 1 3```

havok · Answer

I want to be able to play with it to see if it is worth my time using not a java fan so this looked better I travel a lot so want a local copy on my system like I do with Go Rust Python Clojure and elixir

havok · Answer

let me try that

gildor · Answer

but with Gradle you will have local Kotlin distribution and be able to use it from command line also you will have dependency management Just because it will be really tedious to pass all source files to command line compiler manually If you compare with Rust it s like Cargo or pip for Python And after all you don t need to download and install Kotlin compiler and even Gradle all you need is just Gradle config and source files BTW pure Kotlin Idea project without gradle works offline without problems too you can create it without internet Kotlin plugin in Idea have bundled compiler

gildor · Answer

This is a very basic but working example of gradle project with Kotlin <https github com gildor kotlin starter> You can use there any dependencies and add new files with code without additional configuration The entry point of this project is main function in file src main kotlin Main kt You can run it from console as well as from Idea or Eclipse

gildor · Answer

Looks like sdkman just broken maybe cannot access to repo maybe some proxy error Just download and unpack manually <https github com JetBrains kotlin releases download v1 1 3 2 kotlin compiler 1 1 3 2 zip>

sdkman downloads kotlin binary from github and today there was github service outage so the archive might be downloaded incompletely

havok · Answer

Thanks to both of you I think it had more to do with github outage I tried it today and it worked fine
