Maven is distributed in several formats for your convenience. Use a source archive if you intend to build Maven yourself. Otherwise, simply pick a ready-made binary distribution and follow the installation instructions given at the end of this document.
You will be prompted for a mirror - if the file is not found on yours, please be patient, as it may take 24 hours to reach all mirrors.
In order to guard against corrupted downloads/installations, it is highly recommended toverify the signature of the release bundles against the public KEYS used by the Apache Maven developers.
Maven is distributed under the Apache License, version 2.0.
Be sure to check the compatibility notes before using this version to avoid surprises. While Maven 3 aims to be backward-compatible with Maven 2.x to the extent possible, there are still a few significant changes.
Maven 3.2.3
This is the current stable version of Maven.

You can also download the current documentation, i.e. this website.
Previous Releases
All previous releases of Maven can be found in the archives.
All sources
All sources (plugins, shared librairies, scm, indexer etc..) can be downloaded fromhttp://www.apache.org/dist/maven/
System Requirements
JDK | Maven 3.2 requires JDK 1.6 or above, while Maven 3.0/3.1 requires JDK 1.5 or above (this is to execute Maven - it still allows you to build against 1.3 and prior JDK's) |
Memory | No minimum requirement |
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. The size of your local repository will vary depending on usage but expect at least 500MB. |
Operating System | No minimum requirement. Start up scripts are included as shell scripts and Windows batch files. |
Installation Instructions
Maven is a Java tool, so you must have Java installed in order to proceed. More precisely, you need a Java Development Kit (JDK), the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is not sufficient. Additional optional installation steps are listed after the platform specific instructions.
安装说明
Maven是一个java工具,因此你必须安装java以便访问Maven。更准确的说,你需要一个JDK,JRE是不足够的。另外,可选的安装步骤展列在平台之后明确的说明。
Windows
- Unzip the distribution archive, i.e. apache-maven-3.2.3-bin.zip to the directory you wish to install Maven 3.2.3. These instructions assume you choseC:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation. The subdirectoryapache-maven-3.2.3 will be created from the archive.
- Add the M2_HOME environment variable by opening up the system properties (WinKey + Pause), selecting the "Advanced" tab, and the "Environment Variables" button, then adding theM2_HOME variable in the user variables with the valueC:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\apache-maven-3.2.3. Be sure to omit any quotation marks around the path even if it contains spaces.Note: For Maven 2.0.9, also be sure that theM2_HOME doesn't have a '\' as last character.
- In the same dialog, add the M2 environment variable in the user variables with the value%M2_HOME%\bin.
- Optional: In the same dialog, add the MAVEN_OPTS environment variable in the user variables to specify JVM properties, e.g. the value-Xms256m -Xmx512m. This environment variable can be used to supply extra options to Maven.
- In the same dialog, update/create the Path environment variable in the user variables and prepend the value%M2% to add Maven available in the command line.
- In the same dialog, make sure that JAVA_HOME exists in your user variables or in the system variables and it is set to the location of your JDK, e.g.C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_51 and that%JAVA_HOME%\bin is in yourPath environment variable.
- Open a new command prompt (Winkey + R then type cmd) and runmvn --version to verify that it is correctly installed.
1.解压文件到本地。
2.添加M2_HOME环境变量。
3.在相同的对话框下,添加M2环境变量,值为%M2_Home%\bin。
4.可选。这里省略。
5.在相同的对话框下,更新/创建Path环境变量,把%M2%加入进去。
6.在相同对话框下,确保JAVA_HOME在你的变量或者系统变量中存在。
7.使用mvn --version命令来测试是否安装成功。
显示如下内容,则说明配置成功了:
Apache Maven 3.2.1 (ea8b2b07643dbb1b84b6d16e1f08391b666bc1e9; 2014-02-15T01:37:5

Maven home: D:\apache-maven-3.2.1

Java home: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_05\jre
Default locale: zh_CN, platform encoding: GBK
OS name: "windows 7", version: "6.1", arch: "amd64", family: "dos"
Unix-based Operating Systems (Linux, Solaris and Mac OS X)
- Extract the distribution archive, i.e. apache-maven-3.2.3-bin.tar.gz to the directory you wish to install Maven 3.2.3. These instructions assume you chose/usr/local/apache-maven. The subdirectoryapache-maven-3.2.3 will be created from the archive.
- In a command terminal, add the M2_HOME environment variable, e.g. export M2_HOME=/usr/local/apache-maven/apache-maven-3.2.3.
- Add the M2 environment variable, e.g. export M2=$M2_HOME/bin.
- Optional: Add the MAVEN_OPTS environment variable to specify JVM properties, e.g.export MAVEN_OPTS="-Xms256m -Xmx512m". This environment variable can be used to supply extra options to Maven.
- Add M2 environment variable to your path, e.g. export PATH=$M2:$PATH.
- Make sure that JAVA_HOME is set to the location of your JDK, e.g. export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.7.0_51 and that $JAVA_HOME/bin is in yourPATH environment variable.
- Run mvn --version to verify that it is correctly installed.

Optional configuration
Maven will work for most tasks with the above configuration, however if you have any environmental specific configuration outside of individual projects then you will need to configure settings. The following sections refer to what is available.
Settings
Maven has a settings file located in the Maven installation and/or user home directory that configure environmental specifics such as:
- HTTP proxy server
- repository manager location
- server authentication and passwords
- other configuration properties
For information on this file, see the Settings reference
Security
As of Maven 2.1.0+, you can encrypt passwords in your settings file, however you must first configure a master password. For more information on both server passwords and the master password, see theGuide to Password Encryption.
Toolchains
As of Maven 2.0.9+, you can build a project using a specific version of JDK independent from the one Maven is running with. For more information, see theGuide to Using Toolchains.
这里是可选项,在此先不做翻译和学习。
Quick Start
Configuring Maven
Maven will run with sensible defaults, so you can get right into it. However, if you are operating under a restricted environment or behind a firewall, you might need to prepare to run Maven, as it requires write access to the home directory (~/.m2 on Unix/Mac OS X and C:\Documents and Settings\username\.m2 on Windows) and network access to download binary dependencies.
