Hi Guys, Lets discuss how to install Maven on ubuntu. Its quite simple to install maven on ubuntu
Below are the steps that needs to be executed for installation:
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.
1. Extract the distribution archive, i.e. apache-maven-3.1.0-bin.tar.gz to the directory you wish to install Maven 3.1.0.
These instructions assume you chose /usr/local/apache-maven. The subdirectory apache-maven-3.1.0 will be created from the archive.
2. In a command terminal, add the M2_HOME environment variable, e.g. export M2_HOME=/usr/local/apache-maven/apache-maven-3.1.0.
3. Add the M2 environment variable, e.g. export M2=$M2_HOME/bin.
4. Optional: Add the MAVEN_OPTS environment variable to specify JVM properties, e.g. export MAVEN_OPTS="-Xms256m -Xmx512m". This environment variable can be used to supply extra options to Maven.
5. Add M2 environment variable to your path, e.g. export PATH=$M2:$PATH.
6. Make sure that JAVA_HOME is set to the location of your JDK, e.g. export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_02 and that $JAVA_HOME/bin is in your PATH environment variable.
7. Run mvn --version to verify that it is correctly installed.

Note : These steps are applicable for all unix based operating system(Linux, Solaris and Mac OS)
