Setting up maven in fedora

Hii Friends,

 Setting up Maven in fedora is really simple if you know how to do it.  This post is for people who is new to Maven and to those who haven't set up Maven before.

There is only Few Steps you have to follow to set up Maven in fedora.

1. Download Maven 3.0.4 (Binary tar.gz) from here. http://maven.apache.org/download.html  

 

2.  Extract the tar.gz file and get the path of the directory. 

E.g. - /home/vinu/software/apache-maven-3.0.4

3. Now we have to add the path in to the bash profile

       go to the bash profile    [vinu@localhost ~]$ vi .bash_profile 
 

Add the M2_HOME after the JAVA_HOME in the bash_profile 


export JAVA_HOME=/home/vinu/software/Compressed/jdk1.7.0_09
export M2_HOME=/home/vinu/software/apache-maven-3.0.4
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin:$HOME/bin:$JAVA_HOME/bin:$M2_HOME/bin
export PATH

4. And don't forget to Source the bash profile

[vinu@localhost ~]$ source .bash_profile
         
Okiii we are done setting up Maven :) just to check whether it works properly type this in the terminal
[vinu@localhost ~]$  mvn --version

Hope you get something similar to this
