# 3.5.3 Create Hive Tables

# Step 3: Create Hive Tables

The **third step** in the Hivedata installation process is to create the Hive tables, indexes and sequences by running the following command:

***Select the command line that is appropriate for your environment.***

  **Linux Run Command**

ant -f data_build.xml create_hivedata_tables_release_1-7

  **Windows Run Command**

%ANT_HOME%\bin\ant.bat -f data_build.xml create_hivedata_tables_release_1-7

Note

If the command %ANT_HOME% does not work it may be because you did not set your environment variables as suggested in the Requirements Chapter. If you do not wish to set this variable then you will need to replace %ANT_HOME% with the full path to your Ant directory.
