# 3.5.4 Load Hive Data

# Step 4: Load Data into Hive Tables

The **fourth** and **final step** in the Hivedata installation process is to load the data into the hive tables by running the following command:

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

  **Linux Run Command**

ant -f data_build.xml db_hivedata_load_data

  **Windows Run Command**

%ANT_HOME%\bin\ant.bat -f data_build.xml db_hivedata_load_data

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.
