Question

When I wanted to enable Maven to run from the command line, I did the following things:

Installation directory:

C:\Software\maven221

System Variables (not user variables):

M2_HOME: C:\Software\maven221

M2: %M2_HOME%\bin
Path: ......;%M2%

The location of the JDK is also in the Path variable.

When I execute: java -version from cmd, it gives me the correct response.

When I execute: mvn --version it says it can not find mvn as a command.

Answer 1

I don’t think that the M2 environment variable is of any use by maven.

Just create this environment variable:

set M2_HOME = C:\Software\maven221

And add to the PATH like this:

set PATH = %M2_HOME%\bin;%PATH%
