I’m having some trouble figuring out how to install Ant on Cygwin. I want to use Ant to build Nutch. I’ve looked through a bunch of tutorials but I can’t find anything that is low level enough for me to understand. I need something like…

  1. Download ant, put it here
  2. Open Cygwin
  3. type “export ANT_HOME=…”
  4. …

Can anyone help me out here?

    Assuming you have a JDK already installed, you can do this:

    $ export ANT_HOME=/cygdrive/c/apache-ant-1.7.1

    which assumes you’ve unzipped Ant into C:\apache-ant-1.7.1. Then:

    $ export PATH=$ANT_HOME/bin:$PATH
$ ant -version
Apache Ant version 1.7.1 compiled on June 27 2008
