I have found some solution Run groovy scripts in Jenkins but I am not sure how can i use that in my case.

Answer 1

You need to add path to your groovy binaries in Jenkins -> Manage Jenkins -> Global Tool Configuration. Once you install groovy on your machine provide path to it's installation folder. For example on my machine it's like shown on the picture below:

Answer 2

Before checking your Global Tool Configuration in Jenkins, you might try installing/updating your Homebrew installation and run "brew install groovy" first. This will enable you to set the groovy home path (http://macappstore.org/groovy/). Otherwise Jenkins may not save you Tool Configuration properly.
You should set GROOVY_HOME:
export GROOVY_HOME=/usr/local/opt/groovy/libexec
