Apache Maven is a popular open-source build automation and project management tool used primarily for Java projects.
In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install Apache Maven on the latest version of NixOS.
Before proceeding with the installation of Apache Maven, it is recommended to update your operating system to the latest version. To do this, run the following command:
sudo nixos-rebuild switch
To install Apache Maven on NixOS, you can use the nix-env
command. In the terminal, type:
sudo nix-env -i maven
The above command will download and install the latest version of Apache Maven on your system.
After the installation is completed, verify the installation by checking the version of Apache Maven installed on your system:
mvn –-version
This command will display the version, along with other details about the Maven installation.
To use Apache Maven, you need to set the following environment variables:
export M2_HOME=/nix/store/<maven-version>-apache-maven-<version>
export PATH=$PATH:$M2_HOME/bin
Replace .bashrc
file.
Apache Maven is now installed on your NixOS system, and you can start using it for your project builds.
