Answer 1

You need to install Apache ANT on your system and set the ant path in your system environment variables. Set the below options in the user variables.

ANT_HOME  C:\apache-ant-1.8.2

Path ;C:\apache-ant-1.8.2\bin

Replace C:\\apache-ant-1.8.2 with the ant installation path on your system. And you need add ;C:\\apache-ant-1.8.2\\bin to your path. Don't replace it.
