Installation

Download the latest version here, unpack the downloaded zip file wherever you want, and copy the ivy jar file in your ant lib directory (ANT_HOME/lib).

If you use ant 1.6.0 or superior, you can then simply go to the src/example/hello-ivy dir and run ant: if the build is successful, you have successfully installed Ivy !

If you use ant 1.5.1 or superior, you have to modify the build files in the examples: - remove the namespace section at their head: xmlns:ivy="antlib:fr.jayasoft.ivy.ant"
- add taskdefs for ivy tasks:

  <taskdef name="ivy-configure" classname="fr.jayasoft.ivy.ant.IvyConfigure"/>
  <taskdef name="ivy-resolve" classname="fr.jayasoft.ivy.ant.IvyResolve"/>
  <taskdef name="ivy-retrieve" classname="fr.jayasoft.ivy.ant.IvyRetrieve"/>
  <taskdef name="ivy-publish" classname="fr.jayasoft.ivy.ant.IvyPublish"/> 

- replace ivy:xxx tasks by ivy-xxx
You can now run the build, if it is successful, you have successfully installed Ivy !
If the build is not successful, check the FAQ to see what can be the problem with the ivyrep resolver.
