mvn command not found in OSX Mavrerick

Question

Before marking this as duplicate  I went through these posts  but nothing helped     39 mvn  39  is not recognized as an internal or external command  Getting -bash  mvn  command not found  Can  39 t access mvn command from command line   Some are specific to windows and did not help  A couple of them on Mac OS X gave suggestions  that I tried but did not help  What I tried  this is exactly what Maven suggests    Extract the distribution archive  i e  apache-maven-3 1 1-bin tar gz to the directory you wish to install Maven 3 1 1  These instructions assume you chose  usr local apache-maven  The subdirectory apache-maven-3 1 1 will be created from the archive  In a command terminal  add the M2 HOME environment variable  e g  export M2 HOME  usr local apache-maven apache-maven-3 1 1  Add the M2 environment variable  e g  export M2  M2 HOME bin  Optional  Add the MAVEN OPTS environment variable to specify JVM properties  e g  export MAVEN OPTS  quot -Xms256m -Xmx512m quot   This environment variable can be used to supply extra options to Maven  Add M2 environment variable to your path  e g  export PATH  M2  PATH  Make sure that JAVA HOME is set to the location of your JDK  e g  export JAVA HOME  usr java jdk1 5 0 02 and that  JAVA HOME bin is in your PATH environment variable  Run mvn --version to verify that it is correctly installed   I see that on the terminal that I used for installation  it works fine  I do not have this issue  but when I tried on a new terminal  I get command not found  I also added export PATH  M2 to my  bashrc  I did source and then restarted the terminal  still it did not help  can someone suggest how to make it available in all sessions of terminal  Thanks

Solutions above are good but they require    bash profile   usr local bin is already in the  PATH and it can be confirmed by doing echo  PATH  Download maven and run the following commands -    cd   Downloads   tar xvf apache-maven-3 5 3-bin tar gz   mv apache-maven-3 5 3  usr local    cd  usr local bin   sudo ln -s    apache-maven-3 5 3 bin mvn mvn   mvn -version   which mvn   Note  The version of apache maven would be the one you will download

Try following these if these might help   Since your installation works on the terminal you installed  all the exports you did  work on the current bash and its child process  but is not spawned to new terminals   env variables are lost if the session is closed  using  bash profile  you can make it available in all sessions  since when a bash session starts  it  runs  its  bashrc and  bash profile  Now follow these steps and see if it helps    type env   grep M2 HOME on the terminal that is working  This should give something like  M2 HOME  usr local apache-maven apache-maven-3 1 1 typing env   grep JAVA HOME should give like this   JAVA HOME  Library Java JavaVirtualMachines jdk1 7 0 40 jdk Contents Home   Now you have the PATH for M2 HOME and JAVA HOME   If you just do ls  usr local apache-maven apache-maven-3 1 1 bin  you will see mvn binary there  All you have to do now is to point to this location everytime using PATH  since bash searches in all the directory path mentioned in PATH  it will find mvn    now open  bash profile  if you dont have one just create one  vi    bash profile   Add the following    set JAVA HOME JAVA HOME  Library Java JavaVirtualMachines jdk1 7 0 40 jdk Contents Home export JAVA HOME   M2 HOME  usr local apache-maven apache-maven-3 1 1 export M2 HOME  PATH  PATH  JAVA HOME bin  M2 HOME bin export PATH    save the file and type source    bash profile  This steps executes the commands in the  bash profile file and you are good to go now  open a new terminal and type mvn that should work

I followed brain storm s instructions and still wasn t getting different results - any new terminal windows would not recognize the mvn command  I don t know why  but breaking out the declarations in smaller chunks  bash profile worked  As far as I can tell  I m essentially doing the same thing he did  Here s what looks different in my  bash profile    JAVA HOME  Library Java JavaVirtualMachines jdk1 8 0 221 jdk Contents Home export PATH JAVA HOME J2  JAVA HOME bin export PATH J2 M2 HOME  usr local apache-maven apache-maven-2 2 1 export PATH M2 HOME M2  M2 HOME bin export PATH M2

I got same problem  I tried all above  noting solved my problem  Luckely  I solved the problem this way   echo  SHELL      Output    bin zsh OR   bin bash  If it showing  bash  in output  You have to add env properties in  bashrc file   bash profile i did not tried  you can try  or else It is showing  zsh  in output  You have to add env properties in  zshrc file  if not exist already you create one no issue

Here is what worked for me    First of all I checked if M2 HOME variable is set env   grep M2 HOME  I ve got nothing   I knew I had Maven installed in the folder   usr local apache-maven-3 2 2   so executing the following 3 steps solved the problem for me    Set M2 HOME env variable   M2 HOME  usr local apache-maven-3 2 2   Set M2 env variable   M2  M2 HOME bin   Update the PATH   export PATH  M2  PATH  As mentioned above you can save that sequence in the  bash profile file if you want it to be executed automatically
