How to configure Apache Ant on Mac OS X

How to configure Apache Ant on Mac OS X



Installing Apache Ant on MAC is quite different from Windows.
We use Terminal instead of cmd prompt in MAC.

Steps to Install Apache Ant on MAC OS X:

1. Down�load the lat�est ver�sion of Apache Ant.

2. Open the Ter�mi�nal application.

3. Now you�ll need to manip�u�late files in the /usr/local/ which means you�ll need root priv�i�leges. To get them use �sudo� com�mand (lucky you are, Mac OS X already has sudo as well) and enter your root pass�word.
sudo sh

System_name:~ Username$ sudo sh
Password:
sh-3.2$

4. Move/Copy the archive into /usr/local/:
mv apache-ant-1.8.4-bin.tar.gz /usr/local/

5. Go to /usr/local/:
cd /usr/local/

sh-3.2$ cd /usr/local/

6. Unar�chive the sources:
tar xvzf apache-ant-1.8.4-bin.tar.gz

sh-3.2$ tar xvzf apache-ant-1.8.4-bin.tar.gz

7. Change the apache-ant-1.8.4 direc�tory owner to your nor�mal user:
chown YourUsername:YourGroup apache-ant-1.8.4

If you�re not sure about the user�name and the group sim�ply type �ls �la�. This com�mand will print out all files and direc�to�ries in the cur�rent direc�tory (/usr/local/). The Ant sources you just copied will have your user�name and your group:
-rw-r--r--@  1 Sams staff  5425171 12 Feb 15:24 apache-ant-1.8.4-bin.tar.gz

sh-3.2# ls -la
total 10600
drwxr-xr-x   5 root          wheel      170 Feb 12 16:05 .
drwxr-xr-x@ 11 root          wheel      374 Dec 29 19:47 ..
drwxr-xr-x@ 14 root          wheel      476 Feb 12 16:05 apache-ant-1.8.4
-rw-r--r--@  1 user_name  staff  5425171 Feb 12 15:24 apache-ant-1.8.4-bin.tar.gz
drwxr-xr-x   4 root          wheel      136 Dec 29 19:47 bin

8. Now you can run Ant by typ�ing /usr/local/apache-ant-1.8.4. Not very con�ve�nient, huh?

9. Let�s make it work more friendly:
First, cre�ate a sym�bolic link to refer the appli�ca�tion as ant instead of apache-ant-1.8.:
ln -s apache-ant-1.8.4 ant

sh-3.2# ln -s apache-ant-1.8.4 ant

Sec�ond, add the fol�low�ing lines into your shell con�fig:
export ANT_HOME_DIR=/usr/local/ant
export PATH=${PATH}:${ANT_HOME_DIR}/bin

sh-3.2# export ANT_HOME_DIR=/usr/local/ant
sh-3.2# export PATH=${PATH}:${ANT_HOME_DIR}/bin
sh-3.2# 

10. Restart your Ter�mi�nal and type �ant�. If it says �Build�file: build.xml does not exist! Build failed� which means that Apache Ant works correctly.

Else open terminal and type,
ant -version
