Downloading Ant
</h3>
<p>Use the links below to download a binary distribution of Ant from
one of our mirrors. It is good practice to
<a href="[location]#Verify Releases">verify the integrity</a>
of the distribution files, especially if you are using one of our
mirror sites. In order to do this you must use the signatures from
our <a href="http://www.apache.org/dist/ant/">main distribution
directory</a>.</p>
<p>Ant is distributed as <code>zip</code>, <code>tar.gz</code> and
<code>tar.bz2</code> archives - the contents are the same. Please
note that the <code>tar.*</code> archives contain file names longer
than 100 characters and have been created using GNU tar extensions.
Thus they must be untarred with a GNU compatible version of
<code>tar</code>.</p>
<p>In addition the <a href="http://www.jpackage.org">JPackage
project</a> provides RPMs at their own distribution site.</p>
<p>If you do not see the file you need in the links below, please see
the <a href="http://www.apache.org/dist/ant/">master distribution
directory</a> or, preferably, its <a href="[preferred]/ant/">mirror</a>.</p>
<h3 class="section">
<a name="Mirror"></a>
Mirror
</h3>
<p>You are currently using <b>[preferred]</b>. If you encounter a
problem with this mirror, please select another mirror. If all
mirrors are failing, there are <i>backup</i> mirrors (at the end of
the mirrors list) that should be available.</p>

Nightly Builds
</h3>
<p>Are currently not available, we hope to restore that service soon.</p>
<p>If you want to build Ant from sources, you can use a <a href="http://cvs.apache.org/snapshots/ant/">CVS snapshot</a>.</p>
<h3 class="section">
<a name="Old Ant Releases"></a>
Old Ant Releases
</h3>
<p>Older releases of Ant can be found <a href="http://archive.apache.org/dist/ant/binaries/">here</a>. Those
releases are only provided as <code>zip</code> archives that can be
extracted by <code>jar xf </code><em>archive.zip</em> - we highly
recommend to not use those releases but upgrade to Ant's <a href="[location]#Current Release of Ant">latest</a> release.</p>
<h3 class="section">
<a name="Verify Releases"></a>
Verify Releases
</h3>
<p>It is essential that you verify the integrity of the downloaded
files using the PGP or MD5 signatures.</p>
<p>The PGP signatures can be verified using PGP or GPG. First
download the <a href="http://www.apache.org/dist/ant/KEYS">KEYS</a>
as well as the <code>asc</code> signature file for the particular
distribution. Make sure you get these files from the <a href="http://www.apache.org/dist/ant/">main distribution
directory</a>, rather than from a mirror. Then verify the signatures
using</p>
<p><code>
% pgpk -a KEYS<br />
% pgpv apache-ant-1.6.4-bin.tar.gz.asc<br />
</code>
<em>or</em><br />
<code>
% pgp -ka KEYS<br />
% pgp apache-ant-1.6.4-bin.tar.gz.asc<br />
</code>
<em>or</em><br />
<code>
% gpg --import KEYS<br />
% gpg --verify apache-ant-1.6.4-bin.tar.gz.asc
</code></p>
<p>Alternatively, you can verify the MD5 signature on the files. A
unix program called <code>md5</code> or <code>md5sum</code> is
included in many unix distributions. It is also available as part of
<a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/textutils/textutils.html">GNU
Textutils</a>. Windows users can get binary md5 programs from <a href="http://www.fourmilab.ch/md5/">here</a>, <a href="http://www.pc-tools.net/win32/freeware/console/">here</a>, or
<a href="http://www.slavasoft.com/fsum/">here</a>.</p>
<p>We highly recommend to verify the PGP signature, though.</p>
