Download Apache Maven Manually
Go to Download Page : https://maven.apache.org/download.cgi
Copy Binary tar.gz archive link:
http://apachemirror.wuchna.com/maven/maven-3/3.6.3/binaries/apache-maven-3.6.3-bin.tar.gz
# Download Apache Maven in the /tmp directory using wget
wget https://archive.apache.org/dist/maven/maven-3/3.6.3/binaries/apache-maven-3.6.3-bin.tar.gz -P /tmp
# Once the download is completed, extract the archive in the /opt directory:
sudo tar xf /tmp/apache-maven-*.tar.gz -C /opt
#To have more control over Maven versions, we will create a symbolic link to the Maven installation directory:
#Later if you want to upgrade your Maven installation -
#simply unpack the newer version and change the symlink to point to the latest version
sudo ln -s /opt/apache-maven-3.6.0 /opt/maven
In case of ln: failed to create symbolic link ‘/opt/maven’: File exists Error
# Check existing link
ls -l /opt/maven
#Output
vagrant@vagrant-ubuntu-trusty-64:/opt$ ls -l /opt/maven
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Jan 25 16:58 /opt/maven -> /opt/apache-maven-3.6.0
#Remove Symbolic Links with rm
#Syntax: rm <symlink_name>
sudo rm /opt/maven
# Check again
ls -l /opt/maven
Setup environment variables
open your text editor and create a new file named mavene.sh inside of the /etc/profile.d/
# create & open maven.sh
sudo vi /etc/profile.d/maven.sh
#Paste the following configuration in: /etc/profile.d/maven.sh
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/
export M2_HOME=/opt/maven
export MAVEN_HOME=/opt/maven
export PATH=${M2_HOME}/bin:${PATH}
# Make the script executable with chmod:
sudo chmod +x /etc/profile.d/maven.sh
# Finally load the environment variables
source /etc/profile.d/maven.sh
#Check Maven version Now
mvn --version
If you got error like - JAVA_HOME should point to a JDK not a JRE
make sure JDK path is like /usr/lib/jvm/java-*-openjdk-*/bin/javac
#Get All JDK's in your machine
sudo update-alternatives --config java
