Apache Ant is a Java-based build tool used for automating software builds. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of installing Apache Ant on Fedora CoreOS Latest.
Before we get started with the installation, you will need:
Apache Ant requires Java to run. Therefore, before we can install Apache Ant, we need to install Java.
To install Java on Fedora CoreOS, open the terminal and run the following command:
$ sudo dnf install java-latest-openjdk
This command will install the latest version of OpenJDK.
Next, visit the Apache Ant website at https://ant.apache.org/ and download the latest version of Apache Ant.
To download Apache Ant, run the following command in the terminal:
$ wget https://downloads.apache.org/ant/binaries/apache-ant-1.10.x-bin.tar.gz
Replace 1.10.x with the latest version of Apache Ant available.
Once the download is complete, navigate to the directory where the Apache Ant file was downloaded, and extract its contents using the following command:
$ tar -xzf apache-ant-1.10.x-bin.tar.gz
This will create a new directory named apache-ant-1.10.x that contains the Apache Ant files.
To use Apache Ant, we need to set some environment variables.
Create a new file named ant.sh in the /etc/profile.d/ directory and add the following lines:
export ANT_HOME=/path/to/apache-ant-1.10.x
export PATH=${PATH}:${ANT_HOME}/bin
Replace /path/to/apache-ant-1.10.x with the directory path where you extracted Apache Ant in Step 3.
Save the file and exit.
To test if Apache Ant is installed correctly, run the following command in the terminal:
$ ant -version
If Apache Ant is installed correctly, you should see the version number displayed.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Apache Ant on Fedora CoreOS Latest.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
