Maven installation and set path on Windows OS

Prerequisite:
Set path for Java, click below link for installing and set path for java on windows
https://automation-home.blogspot.in/2016/08/java-8-installation-and-path-setting.html

Follow below steps for installing and set path for maven 
Download maven from https://maven.apache.org/download.cgi

Click link 'apache-maven-3.3.9-bin.zip'.

Click 'OK' button to save the zip file.

zip file is downloaded.

Consider maven zip file is extracted at 'C:\Program Files\apache-maven-3.3.9-bin\apache-maven-3.3.9' 

 Open advanced system settings

 

Above screenshot is captured from Windows 8

Mouse right click on the start button and select 'System'.

 Click 'Advanced system settings'.

Select 'Advanced' tab and click on 'Environment Variables' button.

Add environment variable for maven.

Click 'New' button.

Add 'M2_HOME' or 'MAVEN_HOME' variables.

 Consider maven zip file is extracted at 'C:\Program Files\apache-maven-3.3.9-bin\apache-maven-3.3.9'

According to Maven documentation required only adding 'M2_HOME', but some programs still reference Maven folder with MAVEN_HOME, so it’s safer and better to add both.

Edit Path and add '%M2_HOME%\bin' to Path.

 

 Verify maven configuration by running the command 'mvn –version' in the command prompt.

 Mouse right click on the start button and select 'Command Prompt'.

Run the command 'mvn –version' in the command prompt.
