make issues

[peterthorpe5]

Dear rdp-tools,
I have problem with (2015_june_02 downloaded) rdp-tools "make", this break fairly instantly. See what I did below:

$ git clone https://github.com/rdpstaff/RDPTools.git
$ cd RDPTools
$ git submodule init
$ git submodule update
$ make
ant -f Clustering/build.xml jar
make: execvp: ant: Permission denied
make: *** [Clustering/dist/Clustering.jar] Error 127

I am sorry if this is a daft squestion, but I am lost as to how to proceed. I dont have admin rights, so no sudo.. This is all the error produces. Any thoughts?

Kind regards,

Peter Thorpe

Hi Peter,

Since you don't have root privileges, you have two options. First option is
to talk the systems admin of computer system to help you install. If that
can't be possible, we can try option two.

Option two is to install "apache ant" in a directory where you have full
access.

run these commands below (In these instructions, $ means shell command):

1. $wget
   http://mirror.reverse.net/pub/apache//ant/binaries/apache-ant-1.9.7-bin.zip
2. $unzip apache-ant-1.9.7-bin.zip
3. $cd apache-ant-1.9.7/bin
4. $pwd

copy the entire directory address

1. $cd ~
2. $vi .bashrc

In the file .bashrc, add the line below.

export PATH="path/to/apache-ant-1.9.7/bin":${PATH}
save the file

1. $source .bashrc

If you have any question, let me know.
