I'm using Ubuntu 14.04
(on a VirtualBox VM) and installed Apache Ant via aptitude
:
$ aptitude install ant
The binary is stored in /usr/bin/
:
$ which ant
/usr/bin/ant
Now I want to set ANT_HOME
and also add it to my PATH
environment variable. On Windows it would be easy to find the correct folder -- ANT_HOME
is the folder, where the installation is stored and looks like C:\Program Files\Apache Ant
(or simply the parent directory of the folder with the Ant binaries).
How to find out the correct path for ANT_HOME
in a Linux system (e.g. Ubuntu Server)?
UPDATE
The documentation on the Oracle website says:
Add the following lines to the file, substituting the directory where you installed Ant:
ANT_HOME=/apache-install-dir/apache-ant-version
How to find out the path to the apache-install-dir
?
