How to run the testng script of maven project through the command line in mac

Question

I am trying to run the automation script through TestNG which starts the Appium session and execute the test cases on iPad application. I am able to run the script from eclipse but unable to run the the terminal. Could any one help me to run the script through terminal. I tried following command but i didn't get the expected output.

You should use mvn command to build and run your tests. Try using mvn clean compile test -Dtest=<your class name> from your terminal.

You can also use Automator to create a bash script and call it easily. Just create a new Automator application and select "Run Bash Script" utility and enter the below code

source ~/.bash_profile 
cd <Your Maven project location>
mvn clean compile test -Dtest=<your class name>
