Java SDK Installation

When you install the Java SDK, you will be prompted to select the installation directory. Record the path, as this directory will be used when you set the environment variables.

Apache Ant Installation

• Unzip the Apache Ant distribution files using a command line unzip tool or a zip utility, such as WinZip.

• After extracting the zip, you must set the environment variables, described in the following section, so that Ant is available in the system PATH.

Apache Ant Environment Variables

Linux

To set the environmental variables in Linux, follow these steps:

1. As the root user, enter the following in the /etc/profile file. A PATH variable should already be created in this file, so be sure to define the JAVA_HOME and ANT_HOME export before the PATH export. Replace <some_path> with the correct path fragment for Java and Ant installations.
   export JAVA_HOME=<some_path>/jdk1.6.0_31
export ANT_HOME=<some_path>/apache-ant-1.8.2 ;
   export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$ANT_HOME/bin:$PATH
2. Log out and log back in so that the system recognizes your changes.

Verifying the Environment Variables in Linux

To verify that environment variables have been set correctly, follow these steps:

1. From the command line, enter:
   echo $JAVA_HOME
echo $ANT_HOME
   Both of these commands should return the location where you installed these tools.
2. To verify your Java SDK installation, enter java --version from a command prompt. You should see java version "1.6.0_31".
3. To verify your Ant installation, enter: ant --version from a command prompt. You should see: Apache Ant version 1.8.2

Windows

To set the environmental variables in Windows, follow these steps:

1. In Windows, select Control Panel, then select the System application. In the System Properties window, select the Advanced tab.
2. On the Advanced tab, click the Environment Variables button. To add a new system variable, select the New button.
   
   1. In the Variable n ame text box, enter JAVA_HOME .
   2. In the Variable v alue text box, enter the location of your Java installation.
3. Click the New button again.
   
   1. In the Variable name text box, enter ANT_HOME .
   2. In the Variable value text box, enter the location of your Ant installation.
4. Select the PATH system environment variable, and select the Edit button. This opens the Edit System Variable dialog box.
5. In the Variable value text box, prepend the following text in front of the text that already exists in the Variable Value field.
   %JAVA_HOME%\bin;%ANT_HOME%\bin;
6. Click OK.

Verifying the Environment Variables in Windows

To verify the environment variables have been set correctly, follow these steps:

1. From the command line, enter:
   echo %JAVA_HOME% *
   echo %ANT_HOME% *
   Both of these commands should return the location where you installed these tools.
2. To verify your Java SDK installation, enter java --version from a command prompt. You should see java version "1.6.0_31".

3. To verify your Ant installation, enter ant --version
