Apache Maven is a popular build automation tool used primarily for Java projects. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Apache Maven on MXLinux Latest.
Before proceeding with the installation, ensure that you have the following:
To start the installation process, we need to launch the terminal in MXLinux. You can do this by either clicking on the terminal icon on your desktop or searching for "Terminal" in the applications menu.
Before installing any new software and packages, it is recommended to update the system's already installed packages. In the terminal, type the following command and press Enter:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
You will be prompted to enter your password. Enter your password and press Enter again to proceed with the update process.
Next, we need to download the latest version of Apache Maven from the official website. To do this, type the following command in the terminal and press Enter:
wget https://apache.osuosl.org/maven/maven-3/3.8.3/binaries/apache-maven-3.8.3-bin.tar.gz
This will download the latest stable version of Apache Maven to your current working directory.
Now that we have downloaded the Apache Maven package, we need to extract it into a directory on our system. To do this, type the following command and press Enter:
sudo tar xf apache-maven-3.8.3-bin.tar.gz -C /opt/
This will extract the Apache Maven package to the "/opt" directory on your system.
To use Maven, we need to set up the environment variables. We can do this by creating a new file called "maven.sh" in the "/etc/profile.d/" directory. To do this, type the following command in the terminal and press Enter:
sudo nano /etc/profile.d/maven.sh
This will open the nano text editor. In this editor, add the following lines:
export M2_HOME=/opt/apache-maven-3.8.3
export PATH=$PATH:$M2_HOME/bin
Once you have added these lines, press "Ctrl+X" to save and exit the editor.
Now that we have configured our environment variables, we need to make them effective. To do this, type the following command and press Enter:
source /etc/profile.d/maven.sh
This will activate the environment variables and make them effective immediately.
To verify that Apache Maven has been successfully installed on your system, type the following command in the terminal and press Enter:
mvn -version
This will display the version of Apache Maven that you have installed on your system.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Apache Maven on MXLinux Latest.
In this tutorial, we have guided you through the process of installing Apache Maven on MXLinux Latest. Now that you have installed Apache Maven on your system, you can start using it for building and managing your Java projects.
