Install Software Tools

Note

This step should not be necessary for binary and server distributions.

Install Apache Ant and Maven

  • Rice is sensitive to the versions of Ant and Maven that you use.

  • Please check the requirements for Rice and then verify, install, and use the required versions.

  • These software packages can be installed in any directory, as long as their bin directories are specified in the path first.

Install Ant and Maven to these directories:

  1. Ant: /usr/local/apache-ant-1.7.1

    1. Change your current directory to the directory where the Ant software zip is located, /opt/software/ant.

    2. Uncompress the Ant zip file.

    3. Create a symbolic link to /usr/local/ apache-ant-1.7.1 in /usr/local.

    For example:

    cd /opt/software/ant
tar xvfz apache-ant-1.7.1-bin.tar.gz -C /usr/local
ln -s /usr/local/apache-ant-1.7.1 /usr/local/ant

  2. Maven: /usr/local/maven

    1. Change your current directory to the directory where the Maven software zip is located, /opt/software/maven.

    2. Uncompress the Maven zip file.

    3. Create a symbolic link to /usr/local/apache-maven-2.0.9 in /usr/local.

    For example:

    cd /opt/software/maven
tar xvfz apache-maven-2.0.9-bin.tar.gz -C /usr/local
ln -s /usr/local/apache-maven-2.0.9 /usr/local/maven
