Maven Environment Variables Setup

To set up the Maven environment variables, you can follow these steps:

1. Download and install Maven: First, you need to download and install Maven from the official Maven website. You can choose to install either the binary or source code version.
2. To set the installation directory of Maven, you need to set it as an environment variable. Open the “System Properties” dialog, go to the “Advanced” tab, click on the “Environment Variables” button, then click “New” and enter the variable name as “M2_HOME” with the value being the installation directory of Maven.
3. To set the Maven bin directory: add the Maven bin directory to the Path variable in the system. Locate the Path variable in the system, and add “%M2_HOME%\bin;” to the end of its value. Make sure to separate the paths with a semicolon when adding them.
4. Verification of installation: Open the command prompt window and enter the command “mvn -version”. If the installation is successful, you should be able to see Maven’s version information.

After completing the above steps, you have successfully configured Maven’s environment variables. You can now use the “mvn” command to perform Maven-related operations from anywhere.
