If you have used brew to install maven  create  m2 directory and then copy settings xml in  m2 directory   mkdir    m2 cp  usr local Cellar maven32 3 2 5 libexec conf settings xml    m2   You may need to change the maven version in the path  mine is 3 2 5

It s in your home folder but it s hidden by default   Typing the below commands in the terminal made it visible for me  only the  m2 folder that is  not all the other hidden folders     gt  mv    m2   m2  gt  ln -s   m2    m2            Source

By default it will be hidden in your home directory  Type ls -a   to view that

On mac just run mvn clean install assuming maven has been installed and it will create  m2 automatically
