# Add Gant scripts

IntelliJ IDEA lets you add Gant scripts for Groovy, Grails and Griffon projects.

> **Note:**
> For Groovy projects you need to specify the location of the [Gant home directory](gant-settings.html) in Project Settings | Gant before adding the Gant scripts.

## Adding Gant Scripts

1. In the Project tool window, right-click the directory where you want to create a Gant script file.

2. Select New | Gant Script from the context menu.

3. In the New Gant Script dialog, specify the name of the script and click OK.

4. IntelliJ IDEA creates a Gant file with the default target.
