| ## Bootstrapping Basics |
| |
| If you want to bootstrap Maven, you'll need: |
| |
| - Java 1.7+ |
| - Ant 1.8 or later |
| |
| Run Ant, specifying a location into which the completed Maven distro should be installed: |
| |
| ``` |
| ant -Dmaven.home="$HOME/apps/maven/apache-maven-3.3.x-SNAPSHOT" |
| ``` |
| |
| Once the build completes, you should have a new Maven distro ready to roll in that directory! |
