Installing ANT 1.8.1

U

UPDATED 09/23/2010 to 1.8.1, links to a working download again :)




Download and setup ANT:

cd /usr/src
  wget http://mirror.cc.columbia.edu/pub/software/apache//ant/binaries/apache-ant-1.8.1-bin.tar.gz
  tar -zxvf apache-ant-1.8.1-bin.tar.gz 

  mv apache-ant-1.8.1 /usr/local/ant

Export Variables for Ant:

export ANT_HOME=/usr/local/ant

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/ant/bin

You should do the same thing in /etc/bashrc so that you don't have to keep exporting everything everytime you login:

echo ‘export ANT_HOME=/usr/local/ant’ >> /etc/bashrc
  echo ‘export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/ant/bin’ >> /etc/bashrc
  

That should be all...
