In windows:

Download the latest version of Maven from the http://maven.apache.org/ and Navigate to Use --> Download --> Download the Binary zip archive.

1) After the download, unzip the folder and copy it to the folder. (Lets say i have copied to c:\program files\apache-maven-3.52.

2) Setting the path of Maven in environment Variables: Search the Environment Variable --> Edit the System Environment variables--> Navigate to Advanced tab --> Environment Variables

i) MAVEN_HOME : Click New --> Variable Name : MAVEN_HOME , Variable Value: C:\Program Files\apache-maven-3.5.2

ii) M2_HOME : Click New --> Variable Name : M2_HOME , Variable Value: C:\Program Files\apache-maven-3.5.2

iii) Edit the 'Path' Environment Variable --> %M2_HOME%\bin

Testing whether Maven is installed: mvn -version

I had the same problem and fixed the issue by:

  • Adding the M2_HOME to the USER VARIABLES

  • Adding the MAVEN_HOME to the USER VARIABLES

  • Adding the BIN folder to the PATH in the SYSTEM VARIABLES

(conform this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RfCWg5ay5B0)

Then i could run mvn -version in a NEW command terminal.

Adding

  1. MAVEN_HOME variable (C:\Program Files\apache-maven-3.5.2) and M2_HOME variable (C:\Program Files\apache-maven-3.5.2\bin).
  2. Add %MAVEN_HOME%\bin to the path in system variables . Then mvn -version in command prompt.

Make sure you download the Binary zip file from https://maven.apache.org/download.cgi. Then it should work fine by adding it to the path variable as mentioned in other answers. I've accidentally downloaded the src.zip file and of course it didn't work. enter image description here

Additionally I would add this information that worked for me

After I opened the Environment Variables and followed these steps:

System variables > path > edit > add this one: C:\apache-maven-3.6.3\bin > ok button.

Also I would send my System variables you may need

System variables

I am using Windows 10

The changes in "System variables" requires system restart to take effect. ( The same for Linux systems also)
