How do I install Maven with Yum

Question

I m trying not to learn much about either yum or maven   I ve inherited this code and I don t want to spend more time than I have to in this environment   I ve got yum   My installation  has    is attached too    knows about    two repos  the Amazon one and JPackage  which I understand is something of a standard    Actually  each of those repositories consists of two sub-repositories  but I don t think that s causing the problem    When I asked yum to install maven2  it declined  saying it had never heard of maven2   When I asked yum to install maven2 ignoring Amazon  it does so  but it installs Maven 2 0 9  which is fairly old   The actual pom xml I have requires a higher version   When I Google for Maven repositories I get repositories that Maven can use to build other things  not repositories that Yum can use to install Maven    I did find a repository containing thing that let Maven build Yum   I think Google is mocking me at this point    So  all I need is the repo file that points to a repo that contains whatever I need to install Maven 2 2 1    If it weren t for all these labor-saving devices  I could probably get some work done

Maven is packaged for Fedora since mid 2014, so it is now pretty easy. Just type

sudo dnf install maven

Now test the installation, just run maven in a random directory

mvn

And it will fail, because you did not specify a goal, e.g. mvn package

Icarus answered a very similar question for me  Its not using  yum   but should still work for your purposes  Try   wget http   mirror olnevhost net pub apache maven maven-3 3 0 5 binaries apache-maven-3 0 5-bin tar gz   basically just go to the maven site  Find the version of maven you want  The file type and use the mirror for the wget statement above   Afterwards the process is easy   Run the wget command from the dir you want to extract maven too   run the following to extract the tar   tar xvf apache-maven-3 0 5-bin tar gz  move maven to  usr local apache-maven  mv apache-maven-3 0 5   usr local apache-maven  Next add the env variables to your    bashrc file   export M2 HOME  usr local apache-maven export M2  M2 HOME bin  export PATH  M2  PATH  Execute these commands  source    bashrc   6   Verify everything is working with the following command      mvn -version

I ve just learned of a handy packaging tool called fpm recently  Stumbling upon this question I thought I might give it a try  Turns out  after reading  OrwellHindenberg s answer  it s easy to package maven into an RPM with fpm   yum install -y gcc make rpm-build ruby-devel rubygems gem install fpm   create a project directory and layout the directory structure of the package  mkdir maven-build cd maven-build mkdir -p etc profile d opt   create a file that we ll install to  etc profile d maven sh  we ll store this under the newly created etc profile d directory as maven sh  with the following contents  export M3 HOME  opt apache-maven-3 1 0 export M3  M3 HOME bin export PATH  M3  PATH   download and unpack the latest maven in the opt directory  wget http   www eng lsu edu mirrors apache maven maven-3 3 1 0 binaries apache-maven-3 1 0-bin tar gz tar -xzf apache-maven-3 1 0-bin tar gz -C opt   finally  build the RPM  fpm -n maven-3 1 0 -s dir -t rpm etc opt   Now you can install maven through rpm    rpm -Uvh maven-3 1 0-1 0-1 x86 64 rpm  Preparing                                                                100      1 maven-3 1 0                                                         100     and viola    which mvn  opt apache-maven-3 1 0 bin mvn   not quite yum but closer to home

You can add maven to the yum libraries like this   wget http   repos fedorapeople org repos dchen apache-maven epel-apache-maven repo -O  etc yum repos d epel-apache-maven repo   Now you can install maven like this   yum install apache-maven   Once done  maven 3 will be installed and mvn -version will show you which version you ve got - I had 3 2 1   This worked perfectly for me on CentOS 6 with one exception  It installed OpenJDK 1 6 and made it the default Java version  even though I d already manually installed JDK 8  possibly because I d manually installed it   To change it back use alternatives   alternatives --config java alternatives --config javac   and choose the correct version
