==Introduction==

PCGen is traditionally built with Ant. Here is how you can run ant:

==Install ANT==
# Get ANT from the [http://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi Apache Ant site]. The current version is just fine.
# Unpack it wherever you will.
# See the [http://ant.apache.org/manual/install.html Ant Installation Guide]. It basically means that you should add these two environment variables (the example is for Windows, adjust accordingly for other platforms). <br>
''ANT_HOME=wherever you unpacked ant'', e.g., ''C:\ant-1.6.5''<br>
Add the following to the end of the PATH variable '';%ANT_HOME%\bin''

For windows you can set (or update) these through the UI by
# Right click on my computer
# Select properties
# Click advanced and then Environment variables
# Under the System Variables list, click New

==Building==
# Open a command line, change to where you fetched PCGen from SVN, and test ant: '''ant -projecthelp'', you should see a large list of targets with descriptions. If all is not well, please refer to the Ant documentation or drop one of the lists a line with your situation.
# Build pcgen and run the tests (note that test is the default target for our build.xml ant script): {{ant}}, you should see lots of output, hopefully a tests successful at the end. You are now ready to use Ant for command line builds, please see [[Building PCGen]] for more details

NB You can also use ant integration with your IDE (Eclipse and IDEA both support ant out of the box).

		+	If you get out of memory issues, then you need to supply more memory to the JVM running ant. You can do this by setting the ANT_OPTS environment variable to something like
