In this tutorial, you will learn how to install Apache Maven on Rocky Linux 8. Apache Maven<\/a> is a Java project management and project comprehension tool. Based on the concept of a project object model (POM), Maven can manage a project’s build, reporting and documentation from a central piece of information<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Installing Apache Maven on Rocky Linux 8<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are three ways in which you can install Apache Maven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Install from the default Rocky Linux AppStream Repository<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Install latest release version of Maven using ready-made binary<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Build Maven from the source code (Beyond the scope of this tutorial)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Install Apache Maven from Repository<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Maven is available on the default Rocky Linux 8 AppStream repositories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    dnf info maven<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Available Packages\nName         : maven\nEpoch        : 1\nVersion      : 3.5.4\nRelease      : 5.module+el8.3.0+133+b8b54b58\nArchitecture : noarch\nSize         : 26 k\nSource       : maven-3.5.4-5.module+el8.3.0+133+b8b54b58.src.rpm\nRepository   : appstream\nSummary      : Java project management and project comprehension tool\nURL          : http:\/\/maven.apache.org\/\nLicense      : ASL 2.0 and MIT<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    The Maven packages provided by the AppStream repos may not be up-to-date. See for example, the current stable Maven releases version is Maven 3.8.1 as per the Maven release page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    If you however want to install this version, then you can run the command below;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    dnf install maven -y<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Once the installation is done, you check the version;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    mvn --version<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Sample output;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Apache Maven 3.5.4 (Red Hat 3.5.4-5)\nMaven home: \/usr\/share\/maven\nJava version: 11.0.12, vendor: Red Hat, Inc., runtime: \/usr\/lib\/jvm\/java-11-openjdk-11.0.12.0.7-0.el8_4.x86_64\nDefault locale: en_US, platform encoding: UTF-8\nOS name: \"linux\", version: \"4.18.0-305.10.2.el8_4.x86_64\", arch: \"amd64\", family: \"unix\"<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Install latest release version of Maven using ready-made binary<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    Install OpenJDK on Rocky Linux 8<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    If you want to install the latest release version of Maven using the ready-made binary, then you have to ensure OpenJDK 1.7++ is installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    In this demo, we are going to use OpenJDK 11, which is the latest version provided by the AppStream repo as of this writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    OpenJDK 11 can be installed on Rocky Linux 8 by running the command below;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    dnf install java-11-openjdk<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Install Apache Maven<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    Once OpenJDK is in place, you can download the binary from the downloads page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Current version is v3.8.1. Hence, get the download link to the latest version and pull it. To download v3.8.1, then run the command below;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    wget https:\/\/downloads.apache.org\/maven\/maven-3\/3.8.1\/binaries\/apache-maven-3.8.1-bin.tar.gz<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Extract the Maven Tarball <\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    You can extract it to \/opt or any other directory of your preference, since you will have to add the Maven binary directory to the current PATH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    We use \/usr\/local\/maven<\/code><\/strong> in this demo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    mkdir \/usr\/local\/maven<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    tar xzf apache-maven-3.8.1-bin.tar.gz -C \/usr\/local\/maven\/ --strip-components=1<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Add the bin directory to your PATH<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    Update the PATH with the path to Maven binaries;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    echo export 'PATH=$PATH:\/usr\/local\/maven\/bin\/' > \/etc\/profile.d\/maven.sh<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    chmod +x \/etc\/profile.d\/maven.sh<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Update also the path to JAVA_HOME;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    echo 'export JAVA_HOME=\/usr\/lib\/jvm\/java-11-openjdk-11.0.12.0.7-0.el8_4.x86_64' >> \/etc\/profile.d\/maven.sh<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Source the variables path;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    source \/etc\/profile.d\/maven.sh<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Verify that it is correctly installed<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    You can verify that Maven is installed correctly;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    mvn --version<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Apache Maven 3.8.1 (05c21c65bdfed0f71a2f2ada8b84da59348c4c5d)\nMaven home: \/usr\/local\/maven\nJava version: 11.0.12, vendor: Red Hat, Inc., runtime: \/usr\/lib\/jvm\/java-11-openjdk-11.0.12.0.7-0.el8_4.x86_64\nDefault locale: en_US, platform encoding: UTF-8\nOS name: \"linux\", version: \"4.18.0-305.10.2.el8_4.x86_64\", arch: \"amd64\", family: \"unix\"<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
