<section name="Downloading Ant">

<p>Use the links below to download a source distribution of Ant from
one of our mirrors.  You <strong>must</strong> 
<a href="[location]#Verify Releases">verify the integrity</a> of the 
downloaded files using signatures downloaded from our main
distribution directory.</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>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>

<section name="Old Ant Releases">

<p>Older releases of Ant can be found <a
href="http://ant.apache.org/old-releases/">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>

</section>

<section name="Verify Releases">

<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 jakarta-ant-src-1.5.1.tar.gz.asc<br />
</code>
<em>or</em><br />
<code>
% pgp -ka KEYS<br />
% pgp jakarta-ant-src-1.5.1.tar.gz.asc<br />
</code>
<em>or</em><br />
<code>
% gpg --import KEYS<br />
% gpg --verify jakarta-ant-src-1.5.1.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>
