Install Maven on Mac

Http://www.tuicool.com/articles/ZV3yUn

Recently I upgraded my Mac OS X to Mavericks (10.9) and I were surprised to see this it doesn ' t come with Maven. Earlier versions of Mac OS X such as Lion and Mountain Lion used to has Maven installed by default.

There is some third party options such as HomeBrew and using XCode to install Maven in Mac OS X Mavericks but I wanted to Do it myself without relying on another software for getting maven working.

Here is the steps that I used to install MAVEN on Mac OS X Mavericks.

Step 1 : Download maven binaries from maven Download Page. I was using the Maven 3.0.5, so I downloaded apache-maven-3.0.5-bin.tar.gz.

Step 2 : You can install Maven @ since it's a one time process, I didn ' t wanted it in my user D Irectory. So I installed it in /usr/local directory. You might has the use of sudo command to install in/usr/local directory if your is getting permission denied error.

$ cd/usr/local$ su domv/users/pankaj/downloads/apache-maven-3.0. 5-bin.tar.gz./$ sudo tar-xvf apache-maven-3.0. 5-bin.tar.gz    

Step 3 : Now open the Bash profiles file and add following lines into it. Usually profile file names is. bash_profile or. Profile, and use whichever the your system. If you do have a profile file, you'll have the to create one with VI command.

$HOME $ vi. bash_profile#Add below lines in the Profileexport m2_home=/usr/local/apache-maven-3.0.5export path=$ PATH:$M 2_home/bin#save and quit$ source. Bash_profile   

That's it, MAVEN is installed on your latest MAC OS X and you can verify it by issuing below command.

$ mvn--versionapache Maven3.0.5 (R01DE14724CDEF164CD33C7C8C2FE155FAF9602DA; 2013-02-19  05: 51:28-0800) Maven home: /usr/ Local/apache-maven-3.0.5java version: 1.7.0_09, vendor:oracle Corporationjava home: /library/java/javavirtualmachines/ Jdk1.7.0_09.jdk/contents/home/jredefault Locale:en_us, platform Encoding:utf-8os Name:  "Mac OS X", Version:  "10.9", Arch:  "x86_64", Family:  "Mac"       

You can use the This method to install any MAVEN version of would like to use and at your specified location.
