Linux installation MVN prompt for insufficient permissions

Maven-Environment configuration

Maven is a Java-based tool, so the first thing to do is install the JDK.

System Requirements

Project	Requirements
Jdk	Maven 3.3 requires JDK 1.7 or higher Maven 3.2 requires JDK 1.6 or higher Maven 3.0/3.1 requires JDK 1.5 or above
Memory	No minimum requirements
Disk	Maven's own installation requires approximately ten MB of space. In addition, additional disk space will be used for your local Maven repository. The size of your local warehouse depends on usage, but it is expected to be at least one MB
Operating system	No minimum requirements

Step 1: Check the Java installation

Now open the console and execute the following java command.

Operating System	Task	Command
Windows	Open Command Console	c:\> java -version
Linux	Open Command Terminal	$ java -version
Mac	Open Terminal	machine:~ joseph$ java -version

Let's verify the output on all platforms:

Operating System	Output
Windows	Java Version "1.6.0_21" Java (TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_21-b07) Java HotSpot (TM) Client VMs (build 17.0-b17, mixed mode, sharing)
Linux	Java Version "1.6.0_21" Java (TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_21-b07) Java HotSpot (TM) Client VMs (build 17.0-b17, mixed mode, sharing)
Mac	Java Version "1.6.0_21" Java (TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_21-b07) Java HotSpot (TM) 64-bit Server VM (build 17.0-b17, mixed mode, sharing)

If you do not have Java installed, install the Java Software Development Kit (SDK) from the following URL:http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html. We assume that the Java version you installed is 1.6.0_21.

Step 2: Set up the Java environment

Set the JAVA_HOME environment variables and point to the Java installation directory on your machine. For example:

Operating System	Output
Windows	Set the environment variable Java_home to C:\Program files\java\jdk1.6.0_21
Linux	export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/java-current
Mac	export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/Home

Add the Java compiler address to the system path.

Operating System	Output
Windows	The string "; C:\Program Files\java\jdk1.6.0_21\bin "added to the end of system variable" Path "
Linux	Export path= $PATH: $JAVA _home/bin/
Mac	Not required

Use the Java-version command mentioned above to Verify the Java installation.

Step 3: Download the Maven file

Download Maven 3.2.5 from the following URL:http://maven.apache.org/download.html

Step 4: Unzip the Maven file

Unzip the file to the location you want to install Maven 3.2.5 and you will get the apache-maven-3.2.5 subdirectory.

Operating System	location (depending on your installation location)
Windows	C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\apache-maven-3.2.5
Linux	/usr/local/apache-maven
Mac	/usr/local/apache-maven

Step 5: Set up the Maven environment variable

Add M2_home, M2, maven_opts to environment variables.

Operating System	Output
Windows	Set environment variables using System properties. M2_home=c:\program Files\apache Software foundation\apache-maven-3.2.5 M2=%m2_home%\bin maven_opts=-xms256m-xmx512m
Linux	Open the command terminal to set environment variables. Export m2_home=/usr/local/apache-maven/apache-maven-3.2.5 Export m2= $M 2_home/bin Export maven_opts= "-xms256m-xmx512m" //Note plus double quotes
Mac	Open the command terminal to set environment variables. Export m2_home=/usr/local/apache-maven/apache-maven-3.2.5 Export m2= $M 2_home/bin Export maven_opts=-xms256m-xmx512m

Step 6: Add the Maven Bin directory to the system path

Now add the M2 variable to the system "Path" variable

Operating System	Output
Windows	Add a string ";%m2%" to the end of the system "Path" variable
Linux	Export path= $M 2: $PATH
Mac	Export path= $M 2: $PATH

Step 7: Verify the Maven installation

Now open the console and execute the following mvn command.

Operating System	Output	Command
Windows	Open Command Console	c:\> mvn --version
Linux	Open Command Terminal	$ mvn --version
Mac	Open Terminal	machine:~ joseph$ mvn --version

Finally, verify that the output of the above command should look like this:

Operating System	Output
Windows	Apache Maven 3.2.5 (r801777; 2009-08-07 00:46:01+0530) Java version:1.6.0_21 Java Home:c:\program Files\java\jdk1.6.0_21\jre
Linux	Apache Maven 3.2.5 (r801777; 2009-08-07 00:46:01+0530) Java version:1.6.0_21 Java Home:c:\program Files\java\jdk1.6.0_21\jre
Mac	Apache Maven 3.2.5 (r801777; 2009-08-07 00:46:01+0530) Java version:1.6.0_21 Java Home:c:\program Files\java\jdk1.6.0_21\jre

Congratulations! You have completed all the settings and started using Apache Maven.

When you are finished, if you are prompted for path/APACHE-MAVEN-XX/BIN/MVN: Insufficient permissions

Use the chmod 777 path/APACHE-MAVEN-XX/BIN/MVN to resolve.
