ANT Migration Tool Salesforce Step by Step Procedure

• Download ANT from http://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi 

• Download latest version i.e -  apache-ant-1.10.1-bin.zip

• Extract the downloaded zip file somewhere like C:\Users\fgangana\Desktop\apache-ant-1.10.1

• Set the path in system variables -

• ANT_HOME - C:\Users\fgangana\Desktop\apache-ant-1.10.1\bin

• If PATH system variable already exists then add %ANT_HOME% to your path variable, else add new PATH variable and keep this value.

• Path-%ANT_HOME%\bin;%JAVA_HOME%\bin;C:\app\fgangana\product\11.1.0\client_1\bin;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;%systemroot%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime\QTSystem\;C:\Program Files\Intel\WiFi\bin\;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Intel\WirelessCommon\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Sennheiser\SoftphoneSDK\

• JAVA_HOME-C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0\bin

• Go to command prompt and type ant -version. If it shows that ‘Apache Ant Version compiled’ then that means we are good to go.
