In this article, we are going to install Apache Cordova to build a mobile application for android on the windows machine. We will do this in 6 steps to create a working Cordova project at the end of this article.
1. Install Apache Ant
Go to Apache Ant official site and download the latest version from the link below:
Unzip downloaded files and put them into a new folder (wherever you prefer) which should look something like this:
C:\CordovaApp\ant\apache-ant-1.9.6
Using this location we will create a new environment variable called ANT_HOME and then we will add it to environment PATH value like this : %ANT_HOME%\bin
