General information about Ant and downloads, etc. can be found at the official website http://ant.apache.org Ant is already installed on pascal. To use it, you need to have it in your path and have two environment variables correctly set. This can be accomplished by the commands: PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/ant/bin export ANT_HOME=/usr/local/ant export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java It's easiest to include these in your .profile file, so you don't need to type them every time you open a window.
