To get Ant running on your Mac in 5 minutes, follow these steps.

Open up your terminal.

Perform these commands in order:

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

brew install ant

If you don't have Java installed yet, you will get the following error: "Error: An unsatisfied requirement failed this build." Run this command next: brew cask install java to fix this.

The installation will resume.

Check your version of by running this command:

ant -version

And you're ready to go!

For MacOS Maveriks  10 9 and perhaps later versions too   Apache Ant does not come bundled with the operating system and so must be installed manually  You can use brew to easily install ant  Simply execute the following command in a terminal window to install brew   ruby -e    curl -fsSL https   raw githubusercontent com Homebrew install master install     It s a medium sized download which took me 10min to download and install  Just follow the process which involves installing various components  If you already have brew installed  make sure it s up to date by executing   brew update   Once installed you can simply type   brew install ant   Ant is now installed and available through the  ant  command in the terminal   To test the installation  just type  ant -version  into a terminal window  You should get the following output      Apache Ant TM  version X X X compiled on MONTH DAY YEAR   Source  Error executing command   39 ant  39  on Mac OS X 10 9 Mavericks when building for Android with PhoneGap Cordova  If you are getting errors installing Brew  try uninstalling first using the command   rm -rf  usr local Cellar  usr local  git  amp  amp  brew cleanup   Thanks to OrangeDog and other users for providing additional information

Ant is already installed on some older versions of Mac OS X  so you should run ant -version to test if it is installed before attempting to install it    If it is not already installed  then your best bet is to install Homebrew  brew install ant  or MacPorts  sudo port install apache-ant   and use those tools to install Apache Ant    Alternatively  though I would highly advise using Homebrew or MacPorts instead  you can install Apache Ant manually  To do so  you would need to    Decompress the  tar gz file  Optionally put it somewhere  Put the  bin  subdirectory in your path    The commands that you would need  assuming apache-ant-1 8 1-bin tar gz  replace 1 8 1 with the actual version  were still in your Downloads directory  would be the following  explanatory comments included    cd   Downloads   Let s get into your downloads folder  tar -xvzf apache-ant-1 8 1-bin tar gz   Extract the folder sudo mkdir -p  usr local   Ensure that  usr local exists sudo cp -rf apache-ant-1 8 1-bin  usr local apache-ant   Copy it into  usr local   Add the new version of Ant to current terminal session export PATH  usr local apache-ant bin   PATH    Add the new version of Ant to future terminal sessions echo  export PATH  usr local apache-ant bin   PATH    gt  gt     profile   Verify new version of ant ant -version
