Install Ant

On your assembly-host, while logged in as root:

Download a binary distribution of ant from http://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi. Unpack the distribution to an appropriate place and follow the installation instructions given here:

http://ant.apache.org/manual/install.html#installing.

You also need to install the additional library ant-contrib (see http://ant-contrib.sourceforge.net/#install).

It may also be possible to download ant and ant-contrib from one of your Linux distribution's software repositories. On Debian-based Linux machines, for example, you can install it by entering:

# apt-get install ant-contrib

Verify that ant is correctly installed by entering:

# ant -version

This should produce a response something like this:

Apache Ant version 1.7.1 compiled on September 8 2010
