If you're looking for the installation folder, mvn --version shows you the path.

Maven home: /usr/local/Cellar/maven/3.6.0/libexec

Even better, try:

which mvn

Reason why whereis couldn't return is explained here.

Download the Maven, for example apache-maven-3.x.x-bin.tar.gz. Extracts it,

tar -xvf apache-maven-3.x.x-bin.tar.gz $pwd /Users/mkyong/apache-maven-3.x.x

Copy

2.2 – Set Maven command in environment variable. Update ~/. bash_profile – create this file if doesn’t exist.

$ vim ~/.bash_profile

Copy

~/.bash_profile

export M2_HOME=/Users/mkyong/apache-maven-3.x.x export PATH=$PATH:$M2_HOME/bin

Copy

Restart the terminal. Test it.

Then whereis mvn will work
