Ant on Mac

Hey,

For the first time i tried working with Ant on Mac, so thought of sharing some stuff..

1) Firstly ant is available by default with Mac.

2) Now lets know the current version

admin$ ant -version

Apache Ant(TM) version 1.8.1 compiled on April 29 2014

3) Wanna update to latest

Download link : http://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi

4) Create a local directory in usr if not exists

admin$ sudo mkdir -p /usr/local

5) Copy the downloaded folder to the newly created usr/local folder

admin$ sudo cp -rf apache-ant-1.9.4 /usr/local/apache-ant

6) Set global variable PATH

admin$ export PATH=/usr/local/apache-ant/bin:"$PATH"

7) Echo global variable PATH

admin$ echo 'export PATH=/usr/local/apache-ant/bin:"$PATH"' >> ~/.profile

8) Now lets know the updated version

admin$ ant -version

Apache Ant(TM) version 1.9.4 compiled on April 29 2014

Enjoy :)
