To verify Java Development Kit version on Mac, open Terminal and type $ java -version Set up JDK. /usr/local/apache-maven: Mac /usr/local/apache-maven: Set Maven environment variables. In order to use Maven we have to set up the following three environment variables. The Maven installation is essentially a set of JAR files, configuration files, and a Mac OS X shell script, namely mvn. The mvn command essentially runs this script. It first checks for JAVAHOME. This file is present in the bin folder of the Maven installation and, hence, it needs to be in PATH. M2Eclipse provides tight integration for Apache Maven into the IDE with the following features: Launching Maven builds from within Eclipse Dependency management for Eclipse build path based on Maven's pom.xml Resolving Maven dependencies from the Eclipse workspace without installing to.

Maven is a Java based tool, so the very first requirement is to have JDK installed on your machine.
System Requirement
JDK | 1.7 or above. |
---|---|
Memory | No minimum requirement. |
Disk Space | No minimum requirement. |
Operating System | No minimum requirement. |
Step 1 - Verify Java Installation on your Machine
Open console and execute the following java command.
OS | Task | Command |
---|---|---|
Windows | Open Command Console | c:> java -version |
Linux | Open Command Terminal | $ java -version |
Mac | Open Terminal | machine:~ joseph$ java -version |
Let's verify the output for all the operating systems −
OS | Output |
---|---|
Windows | java version '1.7.0_60' Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_60-b19) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.60-b09, mixed mode) |
Linux | java version '1.7.0_60' Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_60-b19) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.60-b09, mixed mode) |
Mac | java version '1.7.0_60' Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_60-b19) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.60-b09, mixed mode) |
If you do not have Java installed, install the Java Software Development Kit (SDK) from https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html. We are assuming Java 1.7.0.60 as installed version for this tutorial.
Step 2 - Set JAVA Environment
Set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to point to the base directory location where Java is installed on your machine. For example −
OS | Output |
---|---|
Windows | Set the environment variable JAVA_HOME to C:Program FilesJavajdk1.7.0_60 |
Linux | export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/java-current |
Mac | export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/Home |
Maven For Mac Os
Append Java compiler location to System Path.
OS | Output |
---|---|
Windows | Append the string “;C:Program FilesJavajdk1.7.0.60bin” to the end of the system variable, Path. |
Linux | export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin/ |
Mac | not required |
Verify Java Installation using java -version command as explained above.
Step 3 - Download Maven Archive
Download Maven For Mac
Download Maven 2.2.1 from https://maven.apache.org/download.cgi.
OS | Archive name |
---|---|
Windows | apache-maven-3.3.1-bin.zip |
Linux | apache-maven-3.3.1-bin.tar.gz |
Mac | apache-maven-3.3.1-bin.tar.gz |
Step 4 - Extract the Maven Archive
Extract the archive, to the directory you wish to install Maven 3.3.1. The subdirectory apache-maven-3.3.1 will be created from the archive.
OS | Location (can be different based on your installation) |
---|---|
Windows | C:Program FilesApache Software Foundationapache-maven-3.3.1 |
Linux | /usr/local/apache-maven |
Mac | /usr/local/apache-maven |
Step 5 - Set Maven Environment Variables
![Mac Mac](/uploads/1/1/8/8/118891077/936649784.jpg)
Download Apache Maven
Add M2_HOME, M2, MAVEN_OPTS to environment variables.
OS | Output |
---|---|
Windows | Set the environment variables using system properties. M2_HOME=C:Program FilesApache Software Foundationapache-maven-3.3.1 M2=%M2_HOME%bin MAVEN_OPTS=-Xms256m -Xmx512m |
Linux | Open command terminal and set environment variables. export M2_HOME=/usr/local/apache-maven/apache-maven-3.3.1 export M2=$M2_HOME/bin export MAVEN_OPTS=-Xms256m -Xmx512m |
Mac | Open command terminal and set environment variables. export M2_HOME=/usr/local/apache-maven/apache-maven-3.3.1 export M2=$M2_HOME/bin export MAVEN_OPTS=-Xms256m -Xmx512m |
Step 6 - Add Maven bin Directory Location to System Path
Now append M2 variable to System Path.
OS | Output |
---|---|
Windows | Append the string ;%M2% to the end of the system variable, Path. |
Linux | export PATH=$M2:$PATH |
Mac | export PATH=$M2:$PATH |
Step 7 - Verify Maven Installation
Now open console and execute the following mvn command.
OS | Task | Command |
---|---|---|
Windows | Open Command Console | c:> mvn --version |
Linux | Open Command Terminal | $ mvn --version |
Mac | Open Terminal | machine:~ joseph$ mvn --version |
Finally, verify the output of the above commands, which should be as follows −
OS | Output |
---|---|
Windows | Apache Maven 3.3.1 (r801777; 2009-08-07 00:46:01+0530) Java version: 1.7.0_60 Java home: C:Program FilesJavajdk1.7.0_60 jre |
