<section name="Downloading Apache Ant">

<p>Use the links below to download a source 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>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>

<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>

<section name="Old Ant Releases">

<p>Older releases of Ant can be found <a
href="http://archive.apache.org/dist/ant/source/">here</a>.  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 signature or the SHA1, SHA512 or MD5 checksums.  The
checksums are not as strong indicators as the PGP signature.</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-1.8.2-src.tar.gz.asc<br />
</code>
<em>or</em><br />
<code>
% pgp -ka KEYS<br />
% pgp apache-ant-1.8.2-src.tar.gz.asc<br />
</code>
<em>or</em><br />
<code>
% gpg --import KEYS<br />
% gpg --verify apache-ant-1.8.2-src.tar.gz.asc
</code></p>

<p>Alternatively, you can verify the checksums on the files.  Unix
programs called <code>md5</code>/<code>sha1</code>/<code>sha512</code> or
<code>md5sum</code>/<code>sha1sum</code>/<code>sha512sum</code> are included in many unix
distributions.  <code>*sum</code> 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>.  <a
href="http://www.slavasoft.com/fsum/">fsum</a> supports MD5 and
SHA1.</p>

<p>We highly recommend to verify the PGP signature, though.</p>
