    apache maven

    Apache Maven is a free and open-source project management and comprehension tool used primarily for Java projects. Maven uses a Project Object Model (POM), which is essentially an XML file containing information about the project, configuration details, the project's dependencies, and so on.

    In this tutorial, we will take you through two different ways to install Apache Maven on Ubuntu.

    The official Ubuntu repositories contain Maven packages that can be installed with the apt package manager. This is the easiest way to install Maven on Ubuntu. but it may not be the latest maven repository available.


    To install the latest version of Maven  we will be downloading Maven from their official website. Choose the installation method that is suits you.



    Installing Apache Maven on Ubuntu with apt package manager


    Installing Maven on Ubuntu using apt is a simple, straightforward process.


    Start by updating the package repositories:



    root@scdf-server-75b598cc56-b64hs:/# apt update


    Next, install Maven by typing the following command:



    root@scdf-server-75b598cc56-b64hs:/# apt install maven


    Verify the installation by running the mvn -version command:


    root@scdf-server-75b598cc56-b64hs:/# mvn -version
    Apache Maven 3.6.0
    Maven home: /usr/share/maven
    Java version: 1.8.0_192, vendor: Oracle Corporation, runtime: /opt/openjdk
    Default locale: en, platform encoding: UTF-8
    OS name: "linux", version: "3.10.0-957.1.3.el7.x86_64", arch: "amd64", family: "unix"
    root@scdf-server-75b598cc56-b64hs:/#

    Cheers. Maven is now installed .


    Install the Latest Release of Apache Maven




    1. Install OpenJDK
    Maven 3.6.X requires JDK 1.8  to be installed. We'll install OpenJDK.

    Start by updating the package index:


    root@scdf-server-75b598cc56-b64hs:/# apt update


    Install the OpenJDK package by typing:



    root@scdf-server-75b598cc56-b64hs:/# apt install default-jdk


    Verify the installation by running the following command:

    root@scdf-server-75b598cc56-b64hs:/# java -version
    openjdk version "1.8.0_192"
    OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_192-b12)
    OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.192-b12, mixed mode)
    root@scdf-server-75b598cc56-b64hs:/#


    2. Download Apache Maven

    Download latest Maven:



    wget https://www-us.apache.org/dist/maven/maven-3/3.6.3/binaries/apache-maven-3.6.3-bin.tar.gz -P /tmp

    Once the download is completed, extract the archive in the /opt directory:

    root@scdf-server-75b598cc56-b64hs:/# tar xf /tmp/apache-maven-*.tar.gz -C /opt

    root@scdf-server-75b598cc56-b64hs:/# ln -s /opt/apache-maven-3.6.3 /opt/maven

    Later if you want to upgrade your Maven installation you can simply unpack the newer version and change the symlink to point to the latest version.

    3. Setup environment variables
    update your profile file with following detils:

    export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/default-java
    export M2_HOME=/opt/maven
    export MAVEN_HOME=/opt/maven
    export PATH=${M2_HOME}/bin:${PATH}


    Reload the environment variables :


    source /etc/profile


    4. Verify the installation

    To validate that Maven is installed properly use following command 

    mvn -version
    You should see something like the following:

    Apache Maven 3.6.3
    Maven home: /usr/share/maven
    Java version: 1.8.0_192, vendor: Oracle Corporation, runtime: /opt/openjdk
    Default locale: en, platform encoding: UTF-8
    OS name: "linux", version: "3.10.0-957.1.3.el7.x86_64", arch: "amd64", family: "unix
