With CircleCi, the `circle.yml` file for the most part simply runs Bash commands in your build. I’m not familar with Groovy myself but I would suggest following their [install instructions](http://groovy-lang.org/install.html) and writing those commands into `circle.yml`. You can learn more on how to write a `circle.yml file [here](https://circleci.com/docs/configuration/).
