ANTLR is really two things: a tool that translates your grammar to a parser/lexer in Java (or other target language) and the runtime needed by the generated parsers/lexers. Even if you are using the ANTLR Intellij plug-in or ANTLRWorks to run the ANTLR tool, the generated code will still need the runtime library.

The first thing you should do is probably download and install a development tool plug-in. Even if you only use such tools for editing, they are great. Then, follow the instructions below to get the runtime environment available to your system to run generated parsers/lexers. In what follows, I talk about antlr-4.10-complete.jar, which has the tool and the runtime and any other support libraries (e.g., ANTLR v4 is written in v3).

If you are going to integrate ANTLR into your existing build system using mvn, ant, or want to get ANTLR into your IDE such as eclipse or intellij, see [Integrating ANTLR into Development Systems](https://github.com/antlr/antlr4/blob/master/doc/IDEs.md).

1. Download
```
$ cd /usr/local/lib
$ curl -O https://www.antlr.org/download/antlr-4.10-complete.jar
$ curl -O https://www.antlr.org/download/antlr-4.10.1-complete.jar
```
Or just download in browser from website:
[https://www.antlr.org/download.html](https://www.antlr.org/download.html)
and put it somewhere rational like `/usr/local/lib`.

2. Add `antlr-4.10-complete.jar` to your `CLASSPATH`:
2. Add `antlr-4.10.1-complete.jar` to your `CLASSPATH`:
```
$ export CLASSPATH=".:/usr/local/lib/antlr-4.10-complete.jar:$CLASSPATH"
$ export CLASSPATH=".:/usr/local/lib/antlr-4.10.1-complete.jar:$CLASSPATH"
```
It's also a good idea to put this in your `.bash_profile` or whatever your startup script is.

3. Create aliases for the ANTLR Tool, and `TestRig`.
```
$ alias antlr4='java -Xmx500M -cp "/usr/local/lib/antlr-4.10-complete.jar:$CLASSPATH" org.antlr.v4.Tool'
$ alias grun='java -Xmx500M -cp "/usr/local/lib/antlr-4.10-complete.jar:$CLASSPATH" org.antlr.v4.gui.TestRig'
$ alias antlr4='java -Xmx500M -cp "/usr/local/lib/antlr-4.10.1-complete.jar:$CLASSPATH" org.antlr.v4.Tool'
$ alias grun='java -Xmx500M -cp "/usr/local/lib/antlr-4.10.1-complete.jar:$CLASSPATH" org.antlr.v4.gui.TestRig'
```

2. Add `antlr-4.10.1-complete.jar` to CLASSPATH, either:
* Permanently: Using System Properties dialog > Environment variables > Create or append to `CLASSPATH` variable
* Temporarily, at command line:

SET CLASSPATH=.;C:\Javalib\antlr-4.10-complete.jar;%CLASSPATH%
SET CLASSPATH=.;C:\Javalib\antlr-4.10.1-complete.jar;%CLASSPATH%
