In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of Apache Ant on Void Linux. Apache Ant is a Java-based command-line tool used for automating software builds.
Before proceeding with the installation, make sure that your system meets the following requirements:
The first step is to download the latest version of Apache Ant from the official website at https://ant.apache.org/ant-download.cgi.
$ cd /tmp
$ curl -O https://downloads.apache.org/ant/binaries/apache-ant-1.10.11-bin.tar.gz
After downloading the package, navigate to the directory where the package was downloaded and extract it using the following command:
$ tar xzf apache-ant-1.10.11-bin.tar.gz
Once the package is extracted, you need to set the environment variables for Apache Ant. Open the .bashrc file on your system and add the following lines at the bottom of the file:
export ANT_HOME=/path/to/apache-ant-1.10.11
export PATH=$PATH:$ANT_HOME/bin
Replace /path/to with the path to the directory where the Apache Ant package is extracted.
To verify if Apache Ant is installed correctly on your system, open a new terminal and run the following command:
$ ant -version
This command should show the version of Apache Ant installed on your system.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Apache Ant on Void Linux. Now you can use it for automating your software builds.
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!
