Question
I have downloaded the Activity 5.10 zip file and then i have downloaded and configured the Apache ANT and i test it and it worked successfully. But i am unable to run the demo file as specified in this link http://activiti.org/userguide/#demo.setup
if i type the following using the cmd command line:-
C:\activiti-5.10\activiti-5.10\setup>ant demo.start
I will get the following error:-
'ant' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Can anyone help me in identifying what is the problem? BR
:::UPDATE:::
thanks for the reply, i have copied the ANT bin files inside the setup directory for the activity,, then i run the CMD command again ,, but i got the following error that i build failed,, AS MENTIONED BELOW:-

Solution 2
I typed tomcat.install
and it solved the problem since I need to download the tomcat inside the apps directory.
OTHER TIPS
Looks like you didn't set the ant directory in you path variable. Either specifiy the entire path to ant or add it to the path variable
