Ah, I see. This just means change into the directory via the command line where you unpacked the installation.

I m new to lucene and want to clear about some questions.

When I unpacked the Lucene, which i downloaded from Apache site.

I ran the Build.txt file and there are five steps to set up lucene.

Lucene Build Instructions

$Id: BUILD.txt 476955 2006-11-19 22:28:41Z hossman $

Basic steps:
0) Install JDK 1.4 (or greater), Ant 1.6.2 (or greater)

1) Download Lucene from Apache and unpack it

Step 2) Connect to the top-level of your Lucene installation

Lucene's top-level directory contains the build.xml file. By default, you do not need to change any of the settings in this file, but you do need to run ant from this location so it knows where to find build.xml. If you would like to change settings you can do so by creating one or more of the following files and placing your own property settings
                          in there:

                          ~/lucene.build.properties
                          ~/build.properties
                              lucene-x.y/build.properties

The first property which is found in the order with which the files are loaded becomes the property setting which is used by the Ant build
                          system.

NOTE: the ~ character represents your user account home directory.

3) Install JavaCC (optional)
4) Run ant

I am not getting the 3rd instruction. Can you explain this line to me.

And one question more. is it necessary to build lucene using Ant or any other tool. What is the purpose of this?
