Pretty much what others said  but using     bash profile  and step by step  for beginners     Move to home folder and create a new folder for maven artifacts    cd    amp  amp  mkdir installed-packages  Go to https   maven apache org download cgi and wget the latest artifact    If you don t have wget installed  sudo yum install -y wget cd   installed-packages wget http   www-eu apache org dist maven maven-3 3 5 0 binaries apache-maven-3 5 0-bin tar gz  Uncompress the downloaded file    tar -xvf apache-maven-3 5 0-bin tar gz  Create a symbolic link of the uncompressed file    ln -s   installed-packages apache-maven-3 5 0  usr local apache-maven  Edit    bash profile  This is where environment variables are commonly stored     vi    bash profile Add the variable  MVN HOME  usr local apache-maven  do this before PATH variable is defined     For those who don t know vi tool  Press i key to enable insert mode   Go to the end of the line where PATH variable is defined and append the following    MVN HOME  MVN HOME bin Save changes     For those who don t know vi tool  Press esc key to exit insert mode and  wq  to save and quit file    Reload environment variables    source    bash profile  Confirm that maven command now works properly    mvn --help
