Install Apache Maven 3.0.5

Prerequisites

The user you are logging in as must have sudo privileges to be able to install packages.

Installing Apache Maven on CentOS with Yum

Installing Maven on CentOS 7 using yum is a simple, straightforward process.

1. Install Maven by typing the following command in your terminal:

   sudo yum install maven

2. Verify the installation by typing the mvn -version command:

   mvn -version

   The output should look something like this:

   Apache Maven 3.0.5 (Red Hat 3.0.5-17)
   Maven home: /usr/share/maven
   Java version: 1.8.0_191, vendor: Oracle Corporation
   Java home: /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.191.b12-0.el7_5.x86_64/jre
   Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: UTF-8
   OS name: "linux", version: "3.10.0-862.3.2.el7.x86_64", arch: "amd64", family: "unix"

That’s it. Maven is now installed on your CentOS system and you can start using it.
