+In this article, you will say 'Hello' to Groovy. We will see the installation and 'the' most important "Hello World!" program. 🙂
+
+Apache Groovy is a **powerful**, **optionally typed**, and **dynamic** language. It integrates smoothly with any Java program.
+
+## How To Install Groovy?
+
+There are many ways you can [download and Install Groovy](https://groovy.apache.org/download.html).
+
+On this day, Groovy 3.0 is the latest stable version of Groovy designed for JDK8+.
+
+Currently, I am using Windows so we will be using a Windows installer, which is a community artifact.
+
+Here is a [link for Windows Installer for Groovy 3.0.7](https://bintray.com/groovy/Distributions/download_file?file_path=groovy-3.0.7.msi).
+
+Once you download the .msi file ( i.e. installer) simply double click on it and you will see the installation screen.
+

+
+The installation is pretty simple and straight-forward. Click on next and go with the default setting.
+
+**Note:** If you are **using Mac OS** and you have Homebrew, you can install Groovy by the following command.
+
+```
+brew install groovy
+```
+
+Refer to the [official installation guide](https://groovy-lang.org/install.html) for more information.
+
+Once you are done with the installation, you can search for the Groovy Console from your start menu. And finally, you are ready to write your first "Hello World!" program.

+
+
+## Hello World In Groovy
+
+Groovy is a JVM-based language. If you have used Java before you know [how we create a class, then method and write our print statement in it](https://youtu.be/P_r4QFLxBsQ).
+
+Things are pretty much different here.
+
+You can simply write the print statement with your "Hello World!" string and it will get printed on the console.
+
+So let's try.
+
+Open your Groovy Console. Add the following statement to it.
+
+```groovy
+println "Hello World!"
+```
+![Groovy Hello World Program In the Groovy Console](/assets/images/2020-12-31/groovy-hello-world-program-and-run-option.png)
+
+To run your program right click on the console and choose the 'Run' option.
+
+You can also use the shortcut `Ctrl+R` to run any groovy program.
+
+Boom!! 🎉
+
+You can see the string "Hello World!" is printed on the console.

+
+So you have successfully written your first groovy program.
+
+That's it for now.
