How to install maven on redhat linux

Go to mirror.olnevhost.net/pub/apache/maven/binaries/ and check what is the latest tar.gz file

Supposing it is e.g. apache-maven-3.2.1-bin.tar.gz, from the command line; you should be able to simply do:

wget http://mirror.olnevhost.net/pub/apache/maven/binaries/apache-maven-3.2.1-bin.tar.gz

And then proceed to install it.

UPDATE: Adding complete instructions (copied from the comment below)

1. Run command above from the dir you want to extract maven to (e.g. /usr/local/apache-maven)

2. run the following to extract the tar:

   tar xvf apache-maven-3.2.1-bin.tar.gz

3. Next add the env varibles such as

   export M2_HOME=/usr/local/apache-maven/apache-maven-3.2.1

   export M2=$M2_HOME/bin

   export PATH=$M2:$PATH

4. Verify

   mvn -version

I made the following script:

#!/bin/bash# Target installation locationMAVEN_HOME="/your/path/here"# Link to binary tar.gz archive# See https://maven.apache.org/download.cgi?html_a_name#FilesMAVEN_BINARY_TAR_GZ_ARCHIVE="http://www.trieuvan.com/apache/maven/maven-3/3.3.9/binaries/apache-maven-3.3.9-bin.tar.gz"# Configuration parameters used to start up the JVM running Maven, i.e. "-Xms256m -Xmx512m"# See https://maven.apache.org/configure.htmlMAVEN_OPTS="" # Optional (not needed)if [[ ! -d $MAVEN_HOME ]]; then  # Create nonexistent subdirectories recursively  mkdir -p $MAVEN_HOME  # Curl location of tar.gz archive & extract without first directory  curl -L $MAVEN_BINARY_TAR_GZ_ARCHIVE | tar -xzf - -C $MAVEN_HOME --strip 1  # Creating a symbolic/soft link to Maven in the primary directory of executable commands on the system  ln -s $MAVEN_HOME/bin/mvn /usr/bin/mvn  # Permanently set environmental variable (if not null)  if [[ -n $MAVEN_OPTS ]]; then    echo "export MAVEN_OPTS=$MAVEN_OPTS" >> ~/.bashrc  fi  # Using MAVEN_HOME, MVN_HOME, or M2 as your env var is irrelevant, what counts  # is your $PATH environment.  # See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26609922/maven-home-mvn-home-or-m2-home  echo "export PATH=$MAVEN_HOME/bin:$PATH" >> ~/.bashrcelse  # Do nothing if target installation directory already exists  echo "'$MAVEN_HOME' already exists, please uninstall existing maven first."fi

Pretty much what others said, but using "~/.bash_profile" and step by step (for beginners):

1. Move to home folder and create a new folder for maven artifacts:
   • cd ~ && mkdir installed-packages
2. Go to https://maven.apache.org/download.cgi and wget the latest artifact:
   • If you don't have wget installed: sudo yum install -y wget
   • cd ~/installed-packages
   • wget http://www-eu.apache.org/dist/maven/maven-3/3.5.0/binaries/apache-maven-3.5.0-bin.tar.gz
3. Uncompress the downloaded file:
   • tar -xvf apache-maven-3.5.0-bin.tar.gz
4. Create a symbolic link of the uncompressed file:
   • ln -s ~/installed-packages/apache-maven-3.5.0 /usr/local/apache-maven
5. Edit ~/.bash_profile (This is where environment variables are commonly stored):
   • vi ~/.bash_profile
   • Add the variable: MVN_HOME=/usr/local/apache-maven (do this before PATH variable is defined)
     • (For those who don't know vi tool: Press i key to enable insert mode)
   • Go to the end of the line where PATH variable is defined and append the following: :$MVN_HOME:$MVN_HOME/bin
   • Save changes
     • (For those who don't know vi tool: Press esc key to exit insert mode and :wq! to save and quit file)
6. Reload environment variables:
   • source ~/.bash_profile
7. Confirm that maven command now works properly:
   • mvn --help
