How to Install Maven on macOS (2 Methods)

Rahul — Thu, 15 Sep 2022 01:13:05 +0000

Apache Maven is an open-source, community-driven project that aims to build and maintain the most popular Open Source tools for building Java applications. It was created by the Apache Software Foundation in 2001 as an attempt to standardize the build process for Java projects. Over the years, it has developed into a robust set of tools that can be used for a wide range of projects.

Maven provides a number of benefits, including integration with other tools such as Jenkins, AWS CodeStar, and more. This allows for more automated builds and faster release cycles.

In this tutorial, we will discuss two methods of installing Maven on the macOS system.

Method 1: Installing maven using homebrew
Method 2: Installing maven manually

Prerequisites

Java Development Kit (JDK): Maven 3.3+ require JDK 1.7 or above to execute.
Disk: Approximately 10MB is required for the Maven installation itself. In addition to that, additional disk space will be used for your local Maven repository.
Operating System: No minimum requirement. Can be run on any operating system with JDK installed.

Method 1: Installing Maven on macOS using Homebrew

The latest Maven is available as Homebrew formulae. Use the following steps to install Maven on macOS along with a few other useful information.

Make sure that the macOS system has Homebrew installed and up to date. The below command will show you the brew version.
```
brew --version 
```
If it is not installed, use next tutorial to install Homebrew on macOS.
Next is to install Maven on macOS. Run the below command to install the available version of Apache Maven on your macOS PC.
```
brew install maven 
```
After the installation is finished successfully, You can find the installed Maven version using the below command:
```
maven --version 
```
Check Maven Version

The Maven’s main configuration file is settings.xml. Homebrew places the this configuration file under the /usr/local/opt/maven/libexec/conf directory. You can see the file with the below command:

ls -la /usr/local/opt/maven/libexec/conf

total 32
drwxr-xr-x  5 admin  admin    160 Jun  6 09:16 .
drwxr-xr-x  6 admin  admin    192 Jun  6 09:16 ..
drwxr-xr-x  3 admin  admin     96 Jun  6 09:16 logging
-rw-r--r--  1 admin  admin  10742 Jun  6 09:16 settings.xml
-rw-r--r--  1 admin  admin   3747 Jun  6 09:16 toolchains.xml

That’s it. You have successfully installed Apache Maven on your macOS system.

The below instructions will be useful to upgrade Maven or uninstall it from your system in the future.

Upgrade Maven: Skip steps from here, if you have installed Maven right now. The below instructions will be helpful later to upgrade the Maven version. You can upgrade the Maven version anytime with this single command.
```
brew upgrade maven 
```

Delete Maven: If the Maven is no longer required, uninstall it with the following command.
```
brew uninstall maven 
```

Method 2: Manually Install Maven on MacOS

We recommend using Homebrew to install Maven, which also provides the latest packages with easier upgrade options. But if want Maven to install for a specific user, then use the below instructions to install Maven manually on macOS>

You can download the latest Apache Maven from its official download page.
Download latest Maven binary files
The downloaded file will be created under the ~/Downloads directory. Open a terminal and extract the downloaded archive file.
```
tar xzf ~/Downloads/apache-maven-3.8.6-bin.tar.gz -C ~ 
```

The above command will extract the file under the home directory. You can check the files with the below command:

ls -la ~/apache-maven-3.8.6/ 

total 64
drwxr-xr-x   9 admin  staff    288 Sep 14 00:28 .
drwxr-xr-x+ 20 admin  staff    640 Sep 14 00:28 ..
-rw-r--r--@  1 admin  staff  17568 Jun  6 09:16 LICENSE
-rw-r--r--@  1 admin  staff   5141 Jun  6 09:16 NOTICE
-rw-r--r--@  1 admin  staff   2612 Jun  6 09:16 README.txt
drwxr-xr-x   8 admin  staff    256 Sep 14 00:28 bin
drwxr-xr-x@  4 admin  staff    128 Jun  6 09:16 boot
drwxr-xr-x@  5 admin  staff    160 Jun  6 09:16 conf
drwxr-xr-x@ 61 admin  staff   1952 Jun  6 09:16 lib

macOS 10.5 Catalina or later uses the Zsh as the default shell. You can set the MVN_HOME and edit the PATH environment variable in ~/.zshrc. Edit the ~/.zshrc file and update the following content.
```
~/.zshrc 
export MVN_HOME=~/apache-maven-3.8.6
export PATH=$MVN_HOME/bin:$PATH
```
The older macOS users edit the ~/.bash_profile and append the following content.
```
~/.bash_profile 
export MVN_HOME=~/apache-maven-3.8.6
export PATH=$MVN_HOME/bin:$PATH
```
To confirm which shell (Zsh or Bash) is active on your system, run the following command.
```
echo $SHELL 

/bin/zsh 
```
You can simply restart your shell to apply changes or Use the below command to load the environment variables in the current shell.
```
source ~/.zshrc 
```
Older macOS users change the above command to source ~/.bash_profile file.

That’s it. You have successfully installed Maven on your macOS system. Use the below command to check the installed Maven version:

mvn --version

Output:
Apache Maven 3.8.6 (84538c9988a25aec085021c365c560670ad80f63)
Maven home: /Users/admin/apache-maven-3.8.6
Java version: 18.0.2.1, vendor: Homebrew, runtime: /usr/local/Cellar/openjdk/18.0.2.1/libexec/openjdk.jdk/Contents/Home
Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: UTF-8
OS name: "mac os x", version: "12.5", arch: "x86_64", family: "mac"

Conclusion

Maven relies on defined dependencies between projects to keep everything consistent. This means that changes in one project won’t affect another unless explicitly stated. Maven can integrate with other tools such as Jenkins, AWS CodeStar, and more. This allows for more automated builds and faster release cycles. Maven centralizes all build information into one location, which makes it easy to track issues across teams.

The above instruction provides you details of Maven installation using Homebrew as well as installing Maven manually by downloading the binary source code.
