Maven is a build tool. It helps to build the Java project and share the jar files across the projects.
How to setup Maven (MVN)?
Step1: Download the Maven from https://maven.apache.org/download.cgi (Note: Maven 3.3+ require JDK 1.7 or above to execute - they still allow you to build against 1.3 and other JDK versions by using toolchains)
Step2: Extract the zip file
Step3: Run the below command
sudo vi ~/.bash_profile
Step4: Add the maven executable in path ( provide your oath where you unzipped the maven)
export PATH = $PATH:/opt/apache-maven/bin
Step5: Save the file and run the below command to activate the new changes in bash_profile.
source ~./bash_profileStep6: Check the mvn version in "mvn --version", it should return below data( folder path vary based on your installation)
