A simple solution to install Apache Ant on Mac OS X is to first install the MacPorts software on your system. Then open a new Mac Terminal window and type this command at the Unix command line:
$ sudo port install apache-ant
More than likely you’ll then see an error like this:
Error: Error: No valid Xcode installation is properly selected. Error: Please use xcode-select to select an Xcode installation: Error: sudo xcode-select -switch /Developer # version 3.2.6 Error:
A dialog should be displayed to prompt you to download some XCode command line tools. Go ahead and download those, and once that’s finished, your Ant installation should work.
