I'm trying to install maven through the terminal by following these instructions.
So far I got this:
export M2_HOME=/user/apple/apache-maven-3.0.3
export M2=$M2_HOME/bin
export PATH=$M2:$PATH
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.6.0_22
Where do you go to find this?
OS X prior to Mavericks (10.9) actually comes with Maven 3 built in.
If you're on OS X Lion, you won't have java installed by default. Run java by itself and it'll prompt you to install it.
Assuming qualifications are met, run mvn -version and see some output like this:
Apache Maven 3.0.3 (r1075438; 2011-02-28 12:31:09-0500)

Rael Alternatively, I recommend installing Homebrew for these kinds of utilities.
Then you just install Maven using:
brew install maven
PS: If you got a 404 error, try doing a brew update just before

Entourage Disclaimer: Here is a complete answer taking the last version of OS X (10.9 AKA Mavericks) into account. I am aware that everything I compiled in this answer is already present in the page, but having it clearly in one answer makes it a lot clearer.
First of all, with previous versions of OS X, Maven is installed by default. If Java is missing running you@host:~ $ java in a terminal will prompt you for the Java installation.
With Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks), Maven is not installed by default anymore. Different options are then possible:
you@host:~$ brew install maven will install latest Maven (3.5.2 on 02/01/2018)you@host:~$ brew install maven30 will install Maven 3.0 if neededyou@host:~$ sudo port install maven will install latest Maven (?)you@host:~$ sudo port install maven3 will Install Maven 3.0you@host:~$ sudo port select --set maven maven3 selects that version of Mavenapache-maven-3.3.9-bin.tar.gz to the directory you wish to install Maven 3.3.9. The subdirectory apache-maven-3.3.9 will be created from the archive.export MAVEN_OPTS="-Xms256m -Xmx512m". This environment variable can be used to supply extra options to Maven.export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.8) and that $JAVA_HOME/bin is in your PATH environment variable (although that might not be necessary with the latest Mac OS X versions and the Oracle JDK).apache-maven-3.3.9/bin to your $PATHmvn --version to verify that it is correctly installed.sudo port install maven3 installs Maven 3.0.5. –
Magdala JAVA_HOME, consider using export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.8) (cf this answer). Also (at least on Mavericks and Yosemite with the Oracle JDK 1.8) you shouldn't need $JAVA_HOME/bin in your path as everything's symlinked from /usr/bin. –
Hoban JAVA_HOME! I didn't know about the symlinks but I edited my answer to include your remarks. Thanks –
Euplastic export instructions to ~/.bash_profile to make it available in all sessions, see this post for details –
Eisegesis exports in the "installing by hand" option because I reckon people choosing the manual installation know best where they want to do these exports. This is quite specific to each person and each system, I feel. –

Rael When I upgraded recently to OS X Mavericks and my maven builds start failing. So I needed to install maven again as it doesn't come built in. Then I tried with the command:
brew install maven
it works, but it installs the version 3.1.1 of maven which causes some problems for a few users like (https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAVEN/AetherClassNotFound). So if you're running into the same issue you will probably want to install the earlier Maven version, the 3.0.5. To do that with Homebrew, you have to execute the following command:
brew install https://raw.github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-versions/master/maven30.rb
That's it, it will then use a different Homebrew's formulae which will give you the maven 3.0.5 instead.
brew update to get the latest before doing brew install maven, if you want brew to install maven 3.1.1+. –
Lyndalynde brew install maven30 –
Favela brew install maven and it installed 3.0.5.

Omland To install Maven on OS X, go to the Apache Maven website and download the binary zip file.
You can then shift the apache-maven-3.0.5 folder in your Downloads folder to wherever you want to keep Maven; however as the rest of the process involves the command line, I recommend you do everything from there.
At the command line, you would run something like:
mv ~/Downloads/apache-maven-3.0.5 ~/Development/
This is just my personal preference - to have a "Development" directory in my home directory. You can choose something else if you wish.
Next, edit ~/.profile in the editor of your choice, and add the following:
export M2_HOME="/Users/johndoe/Development/apache-maven-3.0.5"
export PATH=${PATH}:${M2_HOME}/bin
The first line is important to Maven (and must be a full explcit path); the second line is important to the shell, in order to run the "mvn" binary. If you have a variation of that second line already in .profile, then simply add ${M2_HOME}/bin to the end of it.
Now open a second terminal window and run
mvn -version
which should give output like...
Apache Maven 3.0.5 (r01de14724cdef164cd33c7c8c2fe155faf9602da; 2013-02-19 13:51:28+0000)

Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: UTF-8
OS name: "mac os x", version: "10.9", arch: "x86_64", family: "mac"
Couple of things to note:
If you've installed the Oracle JDK 1.7, then you may find Maven reports JDK 1.6 in the above output. To solve this, add the following to your ~/.profile:
export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home)
As some have pointed out, Maven has historically been supplied either with OS X itself, or with the optional Command Line Tools for XCode. This may cease to be the case for future versions of OS X, and in fact OS X Mavericks does not include Maven. Personal opinion: This could be because they are still in beta, or it could be that Apple have taken a look at the latest Thoughtworks Technology Radar, and spotted that Maven has been moved to "Hold".
If using MacPorts on OS X 10.9 Mavericks, you can simply do:
sudo port install maven3
sudo port select --set maven maven3
A simple approach to install Maven.
Finder -> Go -> Utilities -> Terminal
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
brew install maven
Just a brief addition; if you want to install a specific version on MacOS using Homebrew 1.5.2, you can install it the following way:
This will give you maven versions available in homebrew

This command brew install maven30 didn't work for me. Was complaining about a missing FORMULA. But the following command did work. I've got maven-3.0.5 installed.
brew install homebrew/versions/maven30
This is for Mac OS X 10.9 aka Mavericks.
brew install maven is installing now. –

Entrust brew install homebrew/versions/maven32 works for me on Sierra –
Sungod brew install maven. –
Entrust If you don't want to install Homebrew only for install Maven you could simply do this:
Download the binary Maven and extract the zip
Launch the Terminal and type this command:
sudo ln -s /path_to_maven_folder/bin/mvn /usr/bin/mvn
You can find more details on this post.
ln: /usr/bin/mvn: Operation not permitted response, i think i need to follow this: https://mcmap.net/q/47112/-operation-not-permitted-when-on-root-el-capitan-rootless-disabled-closed to resolve the problem. –
Quahog brew install maven
mvn -version
Here you go !!! Now you have successfully installed maven on your mac os.
If you have tried brew install maven and were greeted with missing gcc compiler and some other dependencies, an easier approach is to install sdkman
and then run
sdk install maven
(or refer to the latest documentation for the right command)
sdkman is probably over-qualified for the job, but if you deal with multiple versions of SDKs, it's a pretty nice tool to have in general.
Credits to Ammar for the excellent tip
for the ones that just migrated to mavericks - I used the *-ux solution;
modified .bash_profile and added:
alias mvn='/opt/apache-maven-3.1.1/bin/mvn'
export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_21.jdk/Contents/Home
unalias mvn –
Lachrymatory Open a TERMINAL window and check if you have it already installed.
Type:
$ mvn –version
And you should see:
Apache Maven 3.0.2 (r1056850; 2011-01-09 01:58:10+0100)
Java version: 1.6.0_24, vendor: Apple Inc.
Java home: /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home
Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: MacRoman
OS name: “mac os x”, version: “10.6.7″, arch: “x86_64″, family: “mac”
If you don't have Maven installed already, then here is how to download and install maven, and configure environment variables on Mac OS X:
On Maverick, run in the terminal
xcode-select --install
to install the Command Line Tools.
You can use Maven Version Manager through which you can use multiple version of Maven per directory base.
Installation
Using Homebrew brew install mvnvm
Without Homebrew mkdir -p ~/bin && curl -s https://bitbucket.org/mjensen/mvnvm/raw/master/mvn > ~/bin/mvn && chmod 0755 ~/bin/mvn and add ~/bin to path.
Usage
Default Version
To set default maven version set the environment variable DEFAULT_MVN_VERSION to the maven version to be used by default.
Maven version for the folder
Create a file named mvnvm.properties in the folder and configure the maven version as follows
mvn_version=<maven version>
Two ways to install Maven
Before installing maven check mvn -version to make sure maven is not install in system
Method 1:
brew install maven
Method 2:
This worked for me:
$ vim .bash_profile
export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home)
$ source .bash_profile
credit: http://www.mkyong.com/java/maven-java_home-is-not-defined-correctly-on-mac-osx/
% sudo port selfupdate;
% sudo port upgrade outdated;
% sudo port install maven3;
% sudo port select --set maven maven3;
— add following to .zshenv -- start using zsh if you dont —
set -a
[[ -d /opt/local/share/java/maven3 ]] &&
M3_HOME=/opt/local/share/java/maven3 &&
M2_HOME=/opt/local/share/java/maven3 &&
MAVEN_OPTS="-Xmx1024m" &&
M2=${M2_HOME}/bin
set +a
You can install maven using homebrew. The command is
$ brew install maven
After installing maven using brew or manually, using macOS Catalina and using the terminal or iTerm to operate maven you will need to grant access to the apps to access user files.
System Preferences -> Privacy (button) -> Full Disk Access
And then add terminal or iTerm to that list.
You will also need to restart your application e.g. terminal or iTerm after giving them full disk access.
For those who wanna use maven2 in Mavericks, type:
brew tap homebrew/versions
brew install maven2
If you have already installed maven3, backup 3 links (mvn, m2.conf, mvnDebug) in /usr/local/bin first:
mkdir bak
mv m* bak/
then reinstall:
brew uninstall maven2(only when conflicted)
brew install maven2
This worked for me. Its simpler and cleaner. Open Mac terminal and type:
export MAVEN_HOME=~/apache-maven-3.8.1
export PATH=$PATH:$MAVEN_HOME/bin
Now when you type
mvn -version
You get an output:
Apache Maven 3.8.1 (05c21c65bdfed0f71a2f2ada8b84da59348c4c5d)
Maven home: /Users/nisha/apache-maven-3.8.1
Java version: 16.0.1, vendor: Oracle Corporation, runtime: /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-16.0.1.jdk/Contents/Home
Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: UTF-8
OS name: "mac os x", version: "11.4", arch: "x86_64", family: "Mac"
** Edited to add:
When you close the terminal and open again, you will get mvn: command not found and you will have to run the command again.
