Unable to start server using ./gradlew serverRun

[Afreen97]

Hello,
I am willing to contribute.I am cloned the repo and ran the following commands-

1. docker compose up -d
2. ./gradlew createConfigs.

I am trying to start the server via ./gradlew serverRun.But I am encountering an error -

class file has wrong version 55.0, should be 52.0
Please remove or make sure it appears in the correct subdirectory of the classpath.

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

Steps to reproduce
Run ./gradlew serverRun after cloning repo and running createConfigs command.

Can anyone suggest an way out?

@Afreen97 May I ask what's your JDK version? You can check via this command in your terminal at anywhere java --version.

@domlimm I had jdk 1.8 installed.I went through the documentation and I am now using jdk 11.Now it is working fine.Thanks for help!
