thanks for the response actually I did not miss these steps.
I am getting an Error message while downloading ant brew install ant afflib libewf libpq
Error: Failure while executing; tar xof /Users/maram/Library/Caches/Homebrew/downloads/5cf4dd399ddc98aec1fdca0619dfd61a3aea1527a122c0325812a9ddc56ab573--apache-ivy-2.4.0-bin.tar.gz -C /private/tmp/d20200511-52352-1ll9a0f exited with 1. Here’s the output:
tar: Error opening archive: Failed to open ‘/Users/maram/Library/Caches/Homebrew/downloads/5cf4dd399ddc98aec1fdca0619dfd61a3aea1527a122c0325812a9ddc56ab573–apache-ivy-2.4.0-bin.tar.gz’
I tried to download “apache-ivy-2.4.0-bin.tar.gz” manually but unfortunately did not work.
The tar error appears be be an issue with the brew package manager, specifically with the apache-ivy package which, as far as I know, is not a dependency of ant (and ivy v2.4.0 is outdated).
Make sure your package list is up to date with
% brew update
Then remove ant, or make sure it is not installed, with
% brew uninstall ant
Check for brew configuration issues with
% brew doctor
Finally, remove any old, locally stored packages with
% brew cleanup
Now, try to install ant again (There is no need to reinstall afflib, libewf, or libpq):
% brew install ant
If successful, return to the guide. The next step would be to remove the openjdk package that is installed as a dependency of ant and create the link from liberica-jdk home to where ant expects the openjdk you just removed. If the same error occurs, you’ll need to seek a solution with the brew package manager team or build ant manually.
By the way, the silent return of the ln (link) command is normal. Commands often succeed silently in Unix-like operating systems, which is why the guide suggests verifying the results of the link command in the next step. Don’t be surprise if you do get an error if you try to create it a second time and it already exists, however!
