I tried to install Apache Ant on my Mac and I followed the next steps :

  1. I downloaded apache-ant-1.8.1-bin.tar.gz into my Downloads folder.
  2. I moved the file to /usr/local/ using this commands : sudo sh and mv apache-ant-1.8.1-bin.tar.gz /usr/local/

Now I want to use cd /usr/local/ but it's not working, I get back "No such file or directory".

Then I used cd /usr/ and ls commands and it seems that the local folder is there. If I try to access it I get the same error.

Since I already used sudo su why I can't access it? Any ideas?

If you're a homebrew user instead of macports, homebrew has an ant recipe.

brew install ant

Use Brew is always good way to install ANT and other needs. To install type below command on terminal.

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

after Brew installation , type

brew install ant

This will install Ant on your system. Also you will not need to worry about setting up the path.
