Step 1: Verify Your Ubuntu Distribution<\/strong><\/p>\n
To install the right package on your Linux-based system, such as Ubuntu, check your distribution:<\/p>\n
\n\n
\n \n lsb_release -a<\/pre>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<\/table>\n
![](\"http:\/\/greenwebpage.com\/community\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/word-image-11538-1.png\")
<\/pre>\nThe above command provides detailed information about your Ubuntu release (24.04), codename (noble), etc.<\/p>\n
Step 2: Update Ubuntu\u2019s Packages List<\/strong><\/p>\n
Refresh the packages list of your Ubuntu 24.04 through the command given below:<\/p>\n
\n\n
\n \n sudo apt update<\/pre>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<\/table>\n
![](\"http:\/\/greenwebpage.com\/community\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/word-image-11538-2.png\")
<\/pre>\nOnce your Ubuntu 24.04 machine has refreshed its package list, you will see a similar message as mentioned above.<\/p>\n
How to Install Java Development Kit (JDK) for Maven on Ubuntu 24.04?<\/strong><\/h3>\n
Following are some essential commands for installing Java Development Kit (JDK) for Maven on your Ubuntu 24.04 system.<\/p>\n
Step 1: Install Java Development Kit (JDK)<\/strong><\/p>\n
With the Java package, the Maven will run properly. Therefore, you are required to set up the Java default package on your Ubuntu 24.04 machine via the following command:<\/p>\n
\n\n
\n \n sudo apt install default-jdk -y<\/pre>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<\/table>\n
![](\"http:\/\/greenwebpage.com\/community\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/word-image-11538-3.png\")
![](\"http:\/\/greenwebpage.com\/community\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/word-image-11538-4.png\")
<\/pre>\nDuring the installation of Java, you can see the required dependencies and libraries have been configured to your system.<\/p>\n
Step 2: Confirm Java Installation<\/strong><\/p>\n
Let\u2019s execute the following command to confirm the Java package after its installation:<\/p>\n
\n\n
\n \n java -version<\/pre>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<\/table>\n
![](\"http:\/\/greenwebpage.com\/community\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/word-image-11538-5.png\")
<\/pre>\nYou will see the Java Development Kit (JDK) version like \u201c21.0.3\u201d in your output.<\/p>\n
After completing the installation of the Java package, proceed to install the Maven on your Ubuntu 24.04 machine.<\/p>\n
How to Install Maven on Your Ubuntu 24.04 System?<\/strong><\/h3>\n
The steps presented below will install Maven on your Ubuntu 24.04 machine.<\/p>\n
Step 1: Visit the Maven Official Website<\/strong><\/p>\n
To download the latest release of the Maven package, visit its official website, and copy the link to Maven binary:<\/p>\n
\n\n
\n \n https:\/\/maven.apache.org\/download.cgi<\/pre>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<\/table>\n
![](\"http:\/\/greenwebpage.com\/community\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/word-image-11538-6.png\")
<\/pre>\nYou can also see the complete address of the Maven binary package at the bottom of the page.<\/p>\n
Step 2: Download Maven Binary <\/strong><\/p>\n
Simply use the \u201cwget\u201d command<\/a> followed by the URL of the Maven binary, as mentioned below, to download the package:<\/p>\n
\n\n
\n \n wget https:\/\/dlcdn.apache.org\/maven\/maven-3\/3.9.7\/binaries\/apache-maven-3.9.7-bin.tar.gz<\/pre>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<\/table>\n
![](\"http:\/\/greenwebpage.com\/community\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/word-image-11538-7.png\")
<\/pre>\nThe command has successfully downloaded the binary of Maven to your local directory.<\/p>\n
Step 3: Extract Maven to \u201c\/opt\u201d Directory <\/strong><\/p>\n
Next, extract the Maven package to the \u201c\/opt\u201d directory using this simple command:<\/p>\n
\n\n
\n \n sudo tar xf apache-maven-3.9.7-bin.tar.gz -C \/opt<\/pre>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<\/table>\n
![](\"http:\/\/greenwebpage.com\/community\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/word-image-11538-8.png\")
<\/pre>\nEncountering no error in your output indicates that the Maven has been successfully extracted to the \u201c\/opt\u201d directory of your Ubuntu 24.04 system.<\/p>\n
Step 4: Setup Maven\u2019s Environment Variables<\/strong><\/p>\n
On Ubuntu 24.04, setting up environment variables is essential to run the Maven correctly. Therefore, you are required to create a \u201cmaven.sh\u201d file to set the environment variables:<\/p>\n
\n\n
\n \n sudo nano \/etc\/profile.d\/maven.sh<\/pre>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<\/table>\n
![](\"http:\/\/greenwebpage.com\/community\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/word-image-11538-9.png\")
<\/pre>\nInside the \u201cmaven.sh\u201d script file, copy the below lines of code:<\/p>\n
\n\n
\n \n export JAVA_HOME=\/usr\/lib\/jvm\/default-java \nexport M3_HOME=\/opt\/apache-maven-3.9.7 \nexport MAVEN_HOME=\/opt\/apache-maven-3.9.7 \nexport PATH=${M3_HOME}\/bin:${PATH}<\/pre>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<\/table>\n![](\"http:\/\/greenwebpage.com\/community\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/word-image-11538-10.png\")
<\/p>\nEnsure that you have saved the file before returning to the main terminal.<\/p>\n
Step 5: Make the \u201c\/maven.sh\u201d Executable<\/strong><\/p>\n
Run the following command to make the \u201cmaven.sh\u201d file executable:<\/p>\n
\n\n
\n \n sudo chmod +x \/etc\/profile.d\/maven.sh<\/pre>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<\/table>\n
![](\"http:\/\/greenwebpage.com\/community\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/word-image-11538-11.png\")
<\/pre>\nThis command has made the \u201cmaven.sh\u201d script file executable without occurring any errors.<\/p>\n
Step 6: Execute the \u201c\/maven.sh\u201d to Apply Changes<\/strong><\/p>\n
Finally, you are required to execute the \u201cmaven.sh\u201d file and apply changes without rebooting your system.:<\/p>\n
\n\n
\n \n source \/etc\/profile.d\/maven.sh<\/pre>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<\/table>\n
![](\"http:\/\/greenwebpage.com\/community\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/word-image-11538-12.png\")
<\/pre>\nYou will see, no output message on your terminal which indicates that the command was executed successfully.<\/p>\n
Step 7: Verify Maven Installation <\/strong><\/p>\n
To ensure the Maven package is installed correctly, check its version:<\/p>\n
\n\n
\n \n mvn -version<\/pre>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<\/table>\n
![](\"http:\/\/greenwebpage.com\/community\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/word-image-11538-13.png\")
<\/pre>\nThe \u201cApache Maven 3.9.7\u201d confirms that you have successfully installed the latest available version of Maven on your Ubuntu 24.04 system.<\/p>\n
Conclusion<\/h2>\n
You can install the latest version of Maven (i.e. 3.9.7) on your Ubuntu 24.04. To download the binary of Maven, visit the Maven<\/a> website, copy the link, and download using the \u201cwget\u201d command. Next, set up an environment variables file (i.e. maven.sh) and execute to configure the Maven on your Ubuntu 24.04 system.<\/p>\n\n
