In this tutorial, we are going to see how to install maven in Mac OSX.
Versions:
- macOS Big Sur 11.04
- Java 14
- Maven
How to install Maven in Mac OSX:
Installing maven can be possible in Mac in two ways, one homebrew and direct package installation, let’s see brew installation here.
Maven install homebrew:
Make sure you have to install homebrew first, if you don’t have it yet, it’s straightforward.
Update/Upgrade Homebrew:
It’s always recommended to update homebrew before installing any package.
chandra~ % brew update
Updated 3 taps (homebrew/core, homebrew/cask and aws/tap).
==> New Formulae
linux-headers@4.15 openliberty-microprofile4
openliberty-jakartaee8 openliberty-webprofile8
==> Updated Formulae
...
..
The above brew update command gave me 10 outdated formulae and 2 casks. It may be different for you.
chandra ~ % brew upgrade
==> Casks with 'auto_updates' or 'version :latest' will not be upgraded; pass `-
==> Upgrading 2 outdated packages:
adoptopenjdk/openjdk/adoptopenjdk11 11.0.10,9 -> 11.0.11,9
adoptopenjdk/openjdk/adoptopenjdk8 8,282:b08 -> 8,292:b10
==> Upgrading adoptopenjdk11

So far, the prerequisites were done.
Install Maven:
Now let’s initiate our actual process with brew install maven
chandra~ % brew install maven

Verify version:
mvn --versioncommand gives you the details about maven.
chandra ~ % mvn --version
Apache Maven 3.8.1 (05c21c65bdfed0f71a2f2ada8b84da59348c4c5d)
Maven home: /usr/local/Cellar/maven/3.8.1/libexec
Java version: 14.0.2, vendor: AdoptOpenJDK, runtime: /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/adoptopenjdk-14.jdk/Contents/Home
Default locale: en_GB, platform encoding: UTF-8
OS name: "mac os x", version: "10.16", arch: "x86_64", family: "mac"
In the above output, you can find the maven version for me it is 3.8.1 and maven home path, where you can see all the maven libraries.
chandra % ls -a /usr/local/Cellar/maven/3.8.1/
. INSTALL_RECEIPT.json README.txt
.. LICENSE bin
.brew NOTICE libexec
We can also find more info on maven packages using brew info maven command like the following.
chandra ~ % brew info maven
maven: stable 3.8.1 (bottled)
Java-based project management

Conflicts with:
mvnvm (because also installs a 'mvn' executable)
