How to Install Apache Maven on Fedora CoreOS Latest

Apache Maven is a build automation tool used primarily for Java projects. It helps in managing dependencies, building and managing project releases, and generating documentation. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to install Apache Maven on Fedora CoreOS latest by following the below steps:

Prerequisites

Before installing Apache Maven, it is essential to make sure that the system is up-to-date. Run the following command to update the package list and upgrade system packages:

sudo dnf update -y

Step 1: Install Java

Maven is a Java-based tool, so it requires Java to be installed on the system. Fedora CoreOS comes with OpenJDK pre-installed, so run the following command to verify the installed version of java.

java -version

If java is not installed, run the following command to install it:

sudo dnf install java-1.8.0-openjdk

Step 2: Download Apache Maven

Open the terminal and download Apache Maven tar file using the following command:

wget https://apache.osuosl.org/maven/maven-3/3.8.1/binaries/apache-maven-3.8.1-bin.tar.gz

Step 3: Extract the Apache Maven tar file

Once the download has been completed, extract the tar file using the following command:

tar xvf apache-maven-3.8.1-bin.tar.gz

Step 4: Set Environment Variables

To use Apache Maven, we need to set environment variables. Add the following lines to the /etc/profile file:

export M2_HOME=/opt/maven
export M2=$M2_HOME/bin
export PATH=$M2:$PATH

Save and exit the file and run the following command to reload the profile:

source /etc/profile

Step 5: Verify installation

Finally, run the following command to check the installed maven version:

mvn -version

This command will display Maven version and Java version details on the terminal.
