Maven: mvn command not found

I set the following system veriables (OS = Vista):

M2_HOME = C:\Program Files\Maven 
M2 = %M2_HOME%\bin 
path = %M2%

If i run mvn -- version I get:

mvn: command not found

Anyone have any idea why this could be? Thanks.

The stupid mistake I made was that I accidentaly downloaded the source zip archive instead of the bin one. So there was no /bin present.

sudo apt-get install maven - this made it for me on a vagrant machine with docker installed

Follow these steps MAVEN

Again this does not work, hit this command in the Powershell

$env:Path = "$env:Path;C:\path\to\maven\bin"

Make sure to close and reopen the powershell and try mvn -version

I think the tutorial passed by @emdhie will help a lot. How install maven

But, i followed and still getting mvn: command not found

I found this solution to know what was wrong in my configuration:

I opened the command line and called this command:

../apache-maven-3.5.3/bin/mvn --version

After that i got the correct JAVA_HOME and saw that my JAVA_HOME was wrong.

Hope this helps.

Maven setup:

a. install maven from https://maven.apache.org/download.cgi

b. unzip maven and keep in C drive.

c. Set MAVEN_HOME in system variable. enter image description here

d. Set path for maven enter image description here

I followed this tutorial: How to install Maven on Windows

But running mvn -version, I still got:

mvn: command not found

So, I closed the current git window, and opened a new one. Everything went okay :)

I think the problem is with the spaces. I had my variable at the System variables but it didn't work. When I changed variable Progra~1 = 'Program Files' everything works fine.

M2_HOME C:\Progra~1\Maven\apache-maven-3.1.1

I also moved my M2_HOME at the end of the PATH(%M2_HOME%\bin) I'm not sure if this has any difference.

I tried solutions from other threads. Adding M2 and M2_HOME at System variables, and even at User variables. Running cmd as admin. None of the methods worked.

But today I added entire path to maven bin to my System variables "PATH" (C:\Program Files (x86)\Apache Software Foundation\apache-maven-3.1.0\bin) besides other paths, and so far it's working good. Hopefully it'll stay that way.

If you are on windows, what i suppose you need to do set the PATH like this:

SET PATH=%M2%

furthermore i assume you need to set your path to something like C:...\apache-maven-3.0.3\ cause this is the default folder for the windows archive. On the other i assume you need to add the path of maven to your and not set it to only maven so you setting should look like this:

SET PATH=%PATH%;%M2%

  1. Run 'path' in command prompt and ensure that the maven installation directory is listed.
  2. Ensure the maven is installed in 'C:\Program Files\Maven'.
