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
