Android "ant install" fails with "Install file not specified."

Question

I made a project and when I run "ant install" I get the following:

install:
[echo] Install file not specified.
[echo]
[echo] 'ant install' now requires the build target to be specified as well.
[echo]
[echo]
[echo] ant debug install
[echo] ant release install
[echo] ant instrument install
[echo] This will build the given package and install it.
[echo]
[echo] Alternatively, you can use
[echo] ant installd
[echo] ant installr
[echo] ant installi
[echo] ant installt
[echo] to only install an existing package (this will not rebuild the package.)

BUILD FAILED /Developer/SDKs/Android/tools/ant/build.xml:1088: The
following error occurred while executing this line:

Answer 1

As your error indicates you need to specify how you want your install to build.

If you're just doing testing using a debug build will be fine..

Try using "ant debug install" instead of just "ant install"

Answer 2

Starting with SDK Tools revision 14, the install target doesn't not depend on a compilation target… You shall use, as specified, ant debug install to build and install a debug apk and so on.

** Update: **

See the SDK Tools revision notes and the ant command reference on Android Developers
