Step 2 – Downloading Apache Maven

Go to the Maven download page to see if a newer version is available.

Download the Apache Maven in the /tmp directory:

wget https://www-us.apache.org/dist/maven/maven-3/3.6.3/binaries/apache-maven-3.6.3-bin.tar.gz -P /tmp

Step 3 – Setup environment variables

Add the environment variables. So, open your text editor and create a new file named maven.sh in the /etc/profile.d/ directory.

sudo nano /etc/profile.d/maven.sh

Then add the following code into it:

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/default-java
export M2_HOME=/opt/maven
export MAVEN_HOME=/opt/maven
export PATH=${M2_HOME}/bin:${PATH}

Make the script executable with chmod :
