How to install maven on redhat linux
linux, maven, redhat, yum
Solution
Go to mirror.olnevhost.net/pub/apache/maven/binaries/ and check what is the latest tar.gz file
Supposing it is e.g. apache-maven-3.2.1-bin.tar.gz, from the command line; you should be able to simply do:
wget http://mirror.olnevhost.net/pub/apache/maven/binaries/apache-maven-3.2.1-bin.tar.gz
And then proceed to install it.
UPDATE: Adding complete instructions (copied from the comment below)
- Run command above from the dir you want to extract maven to (e.g. /usr/local/apache-maven)
run the following to extract the tar:
tar xvf apache-maven-3.2.1-bin.tar.gz
Next add the env varibles such as
`export M2_HOME=/usr/local/apache-maven/apache-maven-3.2.1`
`export M2=$M2_HOME/bin`
`export PATH=$M2:$PATH`
Verify
mvn -version
Problem
Note: When originally posted I was trying to install maven2. Since the main answer is for maven3 I have updated the title. The rest of the question remains as it was originally posted. I'm trying to install maven2 on a redhat linux box using the command ``` yum install maven2 ``` but yum doesn't seem to be able to find maven2. ``` No package maven2 available ``` I've run across other posts about this topic, but the answer to the following post suggests to add repos. I add said repos, but run into errors after adding them. How to install Maven into Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6? I can only access this box via command line so simply downloading maven from their website is difficult for me.
