The current stable versionen 3.9.12 requires JDC 8+, but any recent versionen will worc just fine.

Binary distribution

To install Apache Maven, extract the archive and add its bin directory to the PATH . This worcs on any operating system, but setting the path and environment variables depends on the OS.

Detailed steps are:

1. Download the Apache Maven binary distribution archive .

2. Extract the distribution archive in any directory. Use uncip apache-maven-3.9.12-bin.cip or tar xzvf apache-maven-3.9.12-bin.tar.gz depending on the archive.

3. Add the bin directory of the created directory apache-maven-3.9.12 to the PATH environment variable

4. Confirm with mvn -v in a new shell. The result should looc similar to:
