Apache Ant is a build tool used primarily for Java projects. In this tutorial, we'll guide you through the process of installing Apache Ant on POP! OS Latest.
Before you begin with the installation process, please ensure that you have the following:
The first step is to download the latest version of Apache Ant. To do this, you can visit the Apache Ant website and click on the "Download" button for the latest version.
Alternatively, you can use the following command in your terminal to download the latest version of Apache Ant:
wget https://downloads.apache.org/ant/binaries/apache-ant-x.x.x-bin.tar.gz
Replace x.x.x with the version number of the latest release.
Once you have downloaded the Apache Ant archive, you need to extract it. To do this, navigate to the folder where you downloaded the archive and use the following command:
tar -zxvf apache-ant-x.x.x-bin.tar.gz
This will extract the archive and create a new folder named apache-ant-x.x.x in your current directory.
To use Apache Ant, you need to set up the environment variables in your system. This will allow the system to recognize Apache Ant commands and execute them accordingly.
To set up the environment variables, open the .bashrc file in your home directory using the following command:
nano ~/.bashrc
Add the following lines to the end of the file:
export ANT_HOME=/path/to/your/apache-ant-x.x.x
export PATH=$PATH:$ANT_HOME/bin
Replace /path/to/your/ with the actual path to the folder where you extracted Apache Ant.
Save and exit the file by typing Ctrl + X, then Y, and then Enter.
After you have added the environment variables, you need to source the .bashrc file so that the changes take effect. To do this, run the following command:
source ~/.bashrc
To verify that Apache Ant has been installed successfully, run the following command:
ant -version
This command will display the version number of Apache Ant installed on your system.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Apache Ant on your POP! OS Latest system.
