Step 3: Check the java version by using the below command.

[root@Linuxhelp ~]# java --version
openjdk 17.0.8 2023-07-18 LTS
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (Red_Hat-17.0.8.0.7-1) (build 17.0.8+7-LTS)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (Red_Hat-17.0.8.0.7-1) (build 17.0.8+7-LTS, mixed mode, sharing)

Step 4: Move to the /tmp directory by using the below command.

[root@Linuxhelp ~]# cd /tmp

Step 5: Download the Apache Maven software from their official website by using the below command.

[root@Linuxhelp tmp]# wget https://downloads.apache.org/maven/maven-3/3.8.8/binaries/apache-maven-3.8.8-bin.tar.gz

Step 6: After download, extract the tar file into /opt directory by using the below command.

[root@Linuxhelp tmp]# tar xf apache-maven-3.8.8-bin.tar.gz -C /opt

Step 7: List the /opt directory by using ls command.

[root@Linuxhelp tmp]# ls /opt
apache-maven-3.8.8

Step 8: Create a soft link for easy accessibility and management by using the below command.

[root@Linuxhelp tmp]# ln -s /opt/apache-maven-3.8.8 /opt/maven

Step 9: Set the environment variables as required by Apache Maven software For that, create a file in /etc/profile.d directory by using vim text editor.

[root@Linuxhelp tmp]# vi /etc/profile.d/maven
Add the following commands in this file.
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/jre-openjdk
export M2_HOME=/opt/maven
