mvn -version is displaying -bash: /usr/local/bin/mvn: No such file or directory. Any idea how I can fix this?
bash, java, maven, osx-mavericks
Solution
It looks like you have all of the necessary ingredients. You simply need to source your profile so that those changes take effect. (You can do this with `. ~/.bash_profile`.)
It is possible that your shell cached a previous version of `mvn`. This can happen if you add an item to your path after something of the same name has been used before. In that case, as Etan pointed out in the comments, you can just `hash -r`, to clear things up. (This doesn't seem to be what you were seeing, but is worth trying in the future if you add maven 3 and `mvn -version` keeps showing version 2.)
To get Maven 3 running, it should just be these steps. Just, with your path having the maven 3 directory instead of the maven 2 one.
Problem
I was trying to upgrade from Maven 2 to Maven 3.1 on os x mavericks. I tried using `brew install maven`, thinking it would upgrade maven to the latest version. However that didnt help. It showed the same `No such file or directory` message. Following this,I uninstalled the maven(installed through brew) by doing `brew rm maven`. However, now I cannot seem to get back either version of maven when I try `mvn -v`, I get thhe output `-bash: /usr/local/bin/mvn: No such file or directory` The following is the content of my `bash_profile` ``` export M2_HOME=/usr/local/apache-maven-2.2.1/ export JBOSS_HOME=/Applications/whp-jboss-cluster-5 export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_60.jdk/Contents/Home/ export TOMCAT_HOME=/Library/Tomcat/ export PATH=$PATH:$M2_HOME/bin:$JBOSS_HOME/bin:$JAVA_HOME:$TOMCAT_HOME ``` Any idea on how I can fix this and get to maven 3 would be appreciated.
