Christian WellsApache Maven is a popular open-source build tool for Java projects. It allows you to manage the build process, dependencies, and documentation of your project. In this article, we will guide you through the process of installing Apache Maven on Ubuntu 18.04.
Before we begin, make sure that you have a fresh installation of Ubuntu 18.04 and that the necessary dependencies are installed on your system. You will also need to be logged in as a user with sudo privileges.
Install the Java Development Kit (JDK)
Maven requires the Java Development Kit (JDK) to be installed on your system. If you don’t have JDK installed, you can install it using the following command:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install openjdk-8-jdk
This will install the JDK on your system.
Install Apache Maven
After installing the JDK, we can proceed to install Apache Maven. To do this, we can use the apt package manager to download and install Maven from the default Ubuntu repositories.
To install Maven, run the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt install maven
This will install the latest version of Apache Maven on your system.
Verify the installation
After installing Maven, you can verify the installation by checking the version of Maven using the following command:
mvn -v
This should print the version of Maven that is installed on your system, along with the path to the Maven installation directory.
By following these steps, you should have successfully installed Apache Maven on Ubuntu 18.04. You can now use Maven to manage the build process and dependencies of your Java projects.
