Cannot install or deploy due to error "'gpg.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command,"

Question

I am trying to deploy my java code, and generate Jar files so I can execute code through commands What I did is I tried to Run the "deploy" option in Maves "deploy -f pom.xml" I also tried the installatioin option "install" in Maves "install -f pom.xml"

Then process stopped and I got this error

[INFO] [INFO] --- maven-gpg-plugin:1.4:sign (default) @ ctakes --- 'gpg.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I have installed GnuPG, and added C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuPG to variables PATH

but still getting same error

Answer 1

Restart the system and try again. I think maven is not able to pick the updated PATH variable.

Try to run this command : gpg --version
