Maven is a Java tool, so you must have Java
installed in order to proceed.
Windows 2000/XP
- Unzip the distribution archive, i.e. apache-maven-2.0.9-bin.zip
to the directory you wish to install Maven 2.0.9. These instructions assume you chose "C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\"
. The subdirectory apache-maven-2.0.9
will be created from the archive.
- Add the M2_HOME
environment variable by opening up the system properties (WinKey + Pause), selecting the "Advanced" tab, and the "Environment Variables" button, then adding the M2_HOME
variable in the user variables with the value "C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\apache-maven-2.0.9"
. Note
: for Maven < 2.0.9, be sure that the M2_HOME
doesn't have a '\' as last character.
- In the same dialog, add the M2
environment variable in the user variables with the value "%M2_HOME%\bin"
.
- Optional
: in the same dialog, add the MAVEN_OPTS
environment variable in the user variables to specify JVM properties, e.g. the value "-Xms256m -Xmx512m"
. This environment variable can be used to supply extra options to Maven.
- In the same dialog, update/create the Path
environment variable in the user variables with the value "%M2%;%Path%"
to add maven available in the command line.
- In the same dialog, make sure that JAVA_HOME
exists in your user variables or in the system variables and it is set to the location of your JDK, e.g. "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_02"
and that "%JAVA_HOME%\bin"
is in your Path
environment variable.
- Open a new command prompt (Winkey + R then type "cmd"
) and run "mvn --version"
to verify that it is correctly installed.
Unix-based Operating Systems (Linux, Solaris and Mac OS X)
- Extract the distribution archive, i.e. apache-maven-2.0.9-bin.tar.gz
to the directory you wish to install Maven 2.0.9. These instructions assume you chose "/usr/local/apache-maven"
. The subdirectory apache-maven-2.0.9
will be created from the archive.
- In a command terminal, add the M2_HOME
environment variable, e.g. "export M2_HOME=/usr/local/apache-maven/apache-maven-2.0.9"
.
- Add the M2
environment variable, e.g. "export M2=$M2_HOME/bin"
.
- Optional
: add the MAVEN_OPTS
environment variable to specify JVM properties, e.g. "export MAVEN_OPTS=-Xms256m -Xmx512m"
. This environment variable can be used to supply extra options to Maven.
- Add M2
environment variable to your path, e.g. "export PATH=$M2:$PATH"
.
- Make sure that JAVA_HOME
is set to the location of your JDK, e.g. "export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_02"
and that "$JAVA_HOME/bin"
is in your PATH
environment variable.
- Run "mvn --version"
to verify that it is correctly installed.
