Apache Maven is developed for the building the Java-based applications. It can also build applications written in C#, Ruby, Scala, and other languages. Maven is very helpful for starting new build applications in various environments. It can manage a project’s build, reporting, and documentation from a central piece of information.
Maven maintains its own repository https://mvnrepository.com/ containing a large number of user libraries and still growing. That helps applications fulfill the dependencies during the build. In most situations, Maven nullifies the version conflict by locating the correct Jar files.
In this tutorial, we will show 2 methods to install and configure Apache Maven on Ubuntu 22.04 Linux system. This article will also apply to other Ubuntu, Debian, and Linux Mint systems.
Apache Maven can be configured on any system that has Java installed. The latest Maven version required JDK 1.7 or newer versions. On Ubuntu, you can run the following command to install JDK 11:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install default-jdk
Once the Java is installed, check the current default set Java version:
java -version
Output:openjdk 11.0.7 2020-04-14 OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 11.0.7+10-post-Ubuntu-3ubuntu1) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.0.7+10-post-Ubuntu-3ubuntu1, mixed mode, sharing)
We can quickly install the Apache Maven using the Apt package manager. Open a terminal and execute following command:
sudo apt install maven
You will notice that the old version of Apache Maven was installed from the Apt repository. The second method will help you to install the latest Maven version on the Ubuntu system.
Follow the below instructions to install Latest Maven version on Ubuntu systems:
wget https://dlcdn.apache.org/maven/maven-3/3.8.5/binaries/apache-maven-3.8.5-bin.tar.gz
sudo tar xzf apache-maven-3.8.5-bin.tar.gz -C /opt
sudo ln -s /opt/apache-maven-3.8.5 /opt/maven
The above commands will extract Maven under /opt directory and create a symbolic link /opt/maven to that directory.
sudo vi /etc/profile.d/maven.sh
Add below content to the file:
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/default-java export M2_HOME=/usr/local/maven export MAVEN_HOME=/usr/local/maven export PATH=${M2_HOME}/bin:${PATH}
Save your file and close it.
source /etc/profile.d/maven.sh
During the next system reboot, the environment will automatically load.
mvn -version
rm -f apache-maven-3.8.5-bin.tar.gz
If the Apache Maven is no longer required, you can uninstall it from your system.
Use the following command to uninstall maven using Apt package manager.
sudo apt remove --purge maven
If you have installed maven from the source code, use the following commands to remove it.
sudo unlink /opt/maven
sudo rm -rf /opt/apache-maven-3.8.5
