Upgrading Maven on Mac

Question

Tried to upgrade maven. Followed this tutorial. Now I am getting this

How does a file exist and not exist?

Answer 1

To upgrade to the latest version (if you have one already installed but need to update the version) do the following:

1. brew update 2. brew unlink maven 3. brew install maven 

if you then execute the mvn --version command you should see that your version of maven has been upgraded.

EDIT:
If you have an issue with the update (command 1) that goes along the lines of
error: The following untracked working tree files would be overwritten by merge: Library/Formula/...
