Apache Maven is a powerful project management and comprehension tool used primarily for Java projects. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install Apache Maven on NetBSD.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
Firstly, you need to download the latest Apache Maven release from its official website http://maven.apache.org/download.cgi.
You can download the latest version of Apache Maven by running the following command:
# ftp http://mirrors.ocf.berkeley.edu/apache/maven/maven-3/3.8.1/binaries/apache-maven-3.8.1-bin.tar.gz
Once you have downloaded the Apache Maven tarball, you need to extract the contents to your desired directory:
# tar xzf apache-maven-3.8.1-bin.tar.gz -C /usr/local/
This command will extract the contents of the tarball to the /usr/local/ directory.
Now we need to set the environment variables PATH and M2_HOME for the Apache Maven.
Add the following lines to ~/.profile:
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/apache-maven-3.8.1/bin
export M2_HOME=/usr/local/apache-maven-3.8.1
To verify that Apache Maven has been successfully installed, run the following command:
# mvn -version
If the installation was successful, you should see something similar to this:
Apache Maven 3.8.1 (dbceddc0768fb0dff956862070c1c7bdf62ac9ce)
Maven home: /usr/local/apache-maven-3.8.1
Java version: 1.8.0_291, vendor: OpenJDK Runtime Environment, build 1.8.0_291-b01
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Apache Maven on your NetBSD system.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Apache Maven on NetBSD. With Apache Maven installed, you can easily manage and build your Java projects with ease.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
