    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.

    Installing Java

    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)

    Method 1: Installing Maven Using Apt

    We can quickly install the Apache Maven using the Apt package manager. Open a terminal and execute following command:

    sudo apt install maven

    Method 2: Installing Latest Maven From Source Code

    Follow the below instructions to install Latest Maven version on Ubuntu systems:

    1. You can download Apache maven from its official website or use following command to download Apache Maven 3.8.5 on your system.
      wget https://dlcdn.apache.org/maven/maven-3/3.8.5/binaries/apache-maven-3.8.5-bin.tar.gz 
      
    2. Now extract the downloaded Maven archive file using the following command.
      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.

    3. As you have downloaded pre-compiled Apache Maven files on your system. Now set the environments variables by creating new file /etc/profile.d/maven.sh.
      sudo vi /etc/profile.d/maven.sh 
      

      Add below content to the file:

      1
      2
      3
      4
      export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/default-java
      export M2_HOME=/opt/maven
      export MAVEN_HOME=/opt/maven
      export PATH=${M2_HOME}/bin:${PATH}

      Save your file and close it.

    4. Next load the environment variables in the current shell using the following command.
      source /etc/profile.d/maven.sh 
      

      During the next system reboot, the environment will automatically load.

    5. You have successfully installed and configured Apache Maven on your Ubuntu system. You can check the installed Maven version with the following command:
      mvn -version 
      
      Installing Maven on Ubuntu
      Check Maven Version
    6. Finally, clean up the disk by removing the downloaded archive file.
      rm -f apache-maven-3.8.5-bin.tar.gz 
      

    Uninstall (Remove) Apache Maven

    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

      You are configuring it inside /opt and then setting it to /usr/local. This won’t work… The path sets should point to /opt/maven
