Installing Maven 3.0.5 in RedHat Linux
The first thing we need to do is to download the Maven tar file and untar it to a shared location on the workstation
wget http://mirrors.gigenet.com/apache/maven/maven-3/3.0.5/binaries/apache-maven-3.0.5-bin.tar.gz
su -c "tar -zxvf apache-maven-3.0.5-bin.tar.gz -C /opt/"
Setup the Maven Environment Variables in shared profile. The next step is to setup the Maven environment variables in a shared profile so all users on the system will get them import at login time.
su -c "vi /etc/profile.d/maven.sh"
# Add the following lines to maven.sh
export M2_HOME=/opt/apache-maven-3.0.5
export M2=$M2_HOME/bin
PATH=$M2:$PATH
Now test your install of Maven. Logout of the system and then log back into it. Enter the following command:
[jsmith@regan ~]$ mvn -version
If you did everything right your output should look something like the one below:
Apache Maven 3.0.5 (r01de14724cdef164cd33c7c8c2fe155faf9602da; 2013-02-19 08:51:28-0500)
