To get Ant running on your Mac in 5 minutes, follow these steps.

Open up your terminal.

Perform these commands in order:

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

brew install ant

If you don't have Java installed yet, you will get the following error: "Error: An unsatisfied requirement failed this build." Run this command next: brew cask install java to fix this.

The installation will resume.

Check your version of by running this command:

ant -version

And you're ready to go!
