How to Install Apache Maven on Ubuntu 16.04

How do I install maven?

For Ubuntu follow below steps

Prerequisites

• A newly deployed Vultr Ubuntu 16.04 server.

• A non-root user with sudo privileges created on your serve.

Step 1 :  update your system to the latest stable version by running the following 
              command

                         sudo apt-get update -y

                         sudo apt-get upgrade -y

Step 2 :  Apache Maven requires Java to be installed on your server. By default, Java 
             is not  available in Ubuntu's repository. Add the Oracle Java PPA to Apt 
              with the  following  command.

                           sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java

Step 3 :  update your Apt package database with the following command.

                           sudo apt-get update -y

Step 4 :  Install the latest stable version of Oracle Java 8.

                           sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer

Step 5 :  Verify the Java version by running the following command.

                           java -version

Step 6 :  Verify the Java version by running the following command.

                          java -version

              output for this step

                           java version "1.8.0_91"

                Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_91-b14)

                Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.91-b14, mixed mode)

Step 7 :  You can download the latest stable version of Apache Maven from its official 
              website, otherwise you can download it directly with the following 
               command.

                           cd /opt/

                wget http://www-eu.apache.org/dist/maven/
                maven-3/3.3.9/binaries/apache-maven-3.3.9-bin.tar.gz

Step 8 :   Extract the downloaded archive.

                            sudo tar -xvzf apache-maven-3.3.9-bin.tar.gz

Step 9 :   Rename the extracted directory.

                             sudo mv apache-maven-3.3.9 maven

Step 10 :   you will need to setup the environment variables such as M2_HOME, 
                M2,  M2_OPTS and PATH . You can do this by creating a mavenenv.sh file 
                inside of  the /etc/profile.d/ directory.

                              sudo nano /etc/profile.d/mavenenv.sh

Step 11 :   Add the following lines.

                              export M2_HOME=/opt/maven

                  export PATH=${M2_HOME}/bin:${PATH}

Step 12 :   Load the environment variables with the following command.

                               sudo chmod +x /etc/profile.d/mavenenv.sh

                  sudo source /etc/profile.d/mavenenv.sh

Step 13 :   check the version of the Apache Maven.

                               mvn --version

           

             You should see the following output:

                  Apache Maven 3.3.9 (bb52d8502b132ec0a5a3f4c09453c07478323dc5;
