title: gradlew: Permission Denied
body: <p>I am attempting to run gradlew from my command line, but am constantly facing the following error.</p>
  
  <pre><code>Brendas-MacBook-Pro:appx_android brendalogy$ ./gradlew compileDebug --stacktrace
  -bash: ./gradlew: Permission denied
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am already running this command from my project directory. Need to run this command as I am facing the same (nondescriptive) error on Android Studio 0.2.x as encountered here: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16626026/android-studio-and-gradle-build-error">Android studio and gradle build error</a></p>
  
  <p>Am I doing something wrong and how do I get around this?</p>
