Apache Maven | |
What is it? | |
----------- | |
Maven is a software project management and comprehension tool. Based on | |
the concept of a Project Object Model (POM), Maven can manage a project's | |
build, reporting and documentation from a central piece of information. | |

System Requirements | |
------------------- | |
JDK: | |
8 or above (this is to execute Maven - it still allows you to build against 1.3 | |
and prior JDK's). | |
Memory: | |
No minimum requirement. | |
Disk: | |
Approximately 10MB is required for the Maven installation itself. In addition to | |
that, additional disk space will be used for your local Maven repository. The size | |
of your local repository will vary depending on usage but expect at least 500MB. | |
Operating System: | |
Windows: | |
Windows 2000 or above. | |
Unix based systems (Linux, Solaris and Mac OS X) and others: | |
No minimum requirement. | |
Installing Maven | |
---------------- | |
1) Unpack the archive where you would like to store the binaries, e.g.: | |
Unix-based operating systems (Linux, Solaris and Mac OS X) | |
tar zxvf apache-maven-4.x.y.tar.gz | |
Windows | |
unzip apache-maven-4.x.y.zip | |
2) A directory called "apache-maven-4.x.y" will be created. | |
3) Add the bin directory to your PATH, e.g.: | |
Unix-based operating systems (Linux, Solaris and Mac OS X) | |
export PATH=/usr/local/apache-maven-4.x.y/bin:$PATH | |
Windows | |
set PATH="c:\program files\apache-maven-4.x.y\bin";%PATH% | |
4) Make sure JAVA_HOME is set to the location of your JDK | |
5) Run "mvn --version" to verify that it is correctly installed. | |
