Follow these steps to solve your problem.

$java -version

Remove latest version of java(i.e. 10 or 11) because gradle is not compatible with java 10 and 11.Instal java 7/8/9.

$sudo apt-get purge openjdk-\*

Then

$ sudo apt-get update

$apt-cache search openjdk
$sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jre openjdk-8-jdk
$cd grobid

$./gradlew run
