Not able to install Maven on Linux

Question

I am trying to install Maven on Linux as I have extracted tar file also in my directory where I wanted to and also setup the environment variables but when I check mvn --version then it complains mvn:command not found. Can anybody tell me reason.

Answer 1

All of these variables you should set in .bashrc or corresponding file. This way you will have them set for each bash/terminal/shell opened. Try also to go into $M2_HOME/bin directory and run the maven from there. ./mvn --version
