Apache Maven installation in windows 8

Question

I followed steps mentioned in this link http://maven.apache.org/download.cgi

Whenever I type mvn --version in cmd. I got 'mvn' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

But when I opened cmd with "Run as a administrator" it worked.

OS: windows 8

How can I run mvn for any user on windows 8.

Answer 1

Try setting the environment variable M2 as System variable instead of User variable.
