How to install specific version of maven in mac using brew command

Question

I want to install specific version (3.0.5) of maven in my using brew command. I tried the following command which is failed with Error: No available formula with the name "3.0.5"

brew install maven 3.0.5 

Any ideas?

Answer 1

brew search maven 

lists all maven versions as below

maven maven-completion maven-shell [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] ✔ [email protected]

brew install [email protected] 

Installs maven 3.0.5 on my mac.

Answer 2

brew install https://raw.github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-versions/master/maven30.rb 

it will then use a different Homebrew's formular which will give you the maven 3.0.5 instead

I tried this last on my Mac and it works installing the 3.0.5!

If none works and you can use similar version try the below:

brew install maven30 

What OS do you have? On OS X 10.9 you should use brew install maven30 since maven 3.1.1 seems to be buggy.

By the way:

Using Homebrew:

you@host:~$ brew install maven will install Maven 3.3.1 (3/24/15) you@host:~$ brew install maven30 will install Maven 3.0 which should be  

better

If you got a 404 error, try doing a brew update just before.

If always nothing, try to recover the installation:

cd ~/Documents mkdir BrewRecovery cd BrewRecovery curl -OL https://gist.githubusercontent.com/ilovezfs/21a741a78927a17b9ad1/raw/fef5866ccd51f07a9635fcb1096e8df0479af01b/Brewfile-deanchester.brewfile md5 Brewfile-deanchester.brewfile
