Maven: mvn command not found

Question

I set the following system veriables (OS = Vista):

M2_HOME = C:\Program Files\Maven  M2 = %M2_HOME%\bin  path = %M2%  

If i run mvn -- version I get:

mvn: command not found 

Anyone have any idea why this could be? Thanks.

Answer 1

Maven setup:

a. install maven from https://maven.apache.org/download.cgi

b. unzip maven and keep in C drive.

c. Set MAVEN_HOME in system variable.

d. Set path for maven

Answer 2

If you are on windows, what i suppose you need to do set the PATH like this:

SET PATH=%M2% 

furthermore i assume you need to set your path to something like C:...\apache-maven-3.0.3\ cause this is the default folder for the windows archive. On the other i assume you need to add the path of maven to your and not set it to only maven so you setting should look like this:

SET PATH=%PATH%;%M2%
