Are you using Windows?

It appears that you are using Mac (/Users/…), so you’ll have to do this. Download the latest version of Apache Ant:

http://supergsego.com/apache//ant/binaries/apache-ant-1.9.4-bin.zip

Extract it to a directory of your choice and then add it to your ~/.profile. Something like this will do:

export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/ant/bin

Log out of your Mac session and with a little luck you should be good to go.

I am using windows and had to install apache ant and add the bin directory to my path to get it to work.
