Installing Apache Maven

The installation of Apache Maven is a simple process of extracting the archive and adding the bin directory with the mvn command to the PATH.

Detailed steps are:

  • Have a JDK installation on your system. Either set the JAVA_HOME environment variable pointing to your JDK installation or have the java executable on your PATH.

  • Extract distribution archive in any directory

unzip apache-maven-3.9.4-bin.zip

or

tar xzvf apache-maven-3.9.4-bin.tar.gz

Alternatively use your preferred archive extraction tool.

  • Add the bin directory of the created directory apache-maven-3.9.4 to the PATH environment variable

  • Confirm with mvn -v in a new shell. The result should look similar to
