Note: This release is in preview. Features described here don’t become generally available until the latest general availability date that Salesforce announces for this release.

Make your purchase decisions only on the basis of generally available products and features.

Installing the Ant Migration Tool

The Ant Migration Tool is retired with Spring ’24. The tool continues to function as-is for future API versions but isn’t updated with new functionality and isn’t supported. If Salesforce adds a new feature that is incompatible with Ant, the Ant Migration Tool won't be updated to support it. To manage metadata changes, switch to Salesforce CLI for a modern, supported developer experience.

Note

Before you install the Ant Migration Tool you will need Java and Ant installed on your local machine. Then you can download the Ant Migration Tool from a Salesforce organization.

Install Java and Ant, as described in Prerequisites for Using the Ant Migration Tool.
Download the Ant Migration Tool, as described in Install the Ant Migration Tool.
