Install Maven with Yum on Amazon Linux

gistfile1.txt

sudo wget http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/dchen/apache-maven/epel-apache-maven.repo -O /etc/yum.repos.d/epel-apache-maven.repo
sudo sed -i s/\$releasever/6/g /etc/yum.repos.d/epel-apache-maven.repo
sudo yum install -y apache-maven
mvn --version

You can automatically install OpenJDK 8 with:

sudo wget http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/dchen/apache-maven/epel-apache-maven.repo -O /etc/yum.repos.d/epel-apache-maven.repo
# Note I've replaced the "6" with "7" here.
sudo sed -i s/\$releasever/7/g /etc/yum.repos.d/epel-apache-maven.repo
sudo yum install -y apache-maven
mvn --version

Of course, in my case, I actually prefer Oracle JDK.

thank you

thank you man

I suggest you first download jdk from oracle website via wget, then install 1.8, after that set up environment variable in bash profile, as :
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.8.0_171-amd64/
export JRE_HOME=//usr/java/jdk1.8.0_171-amd64/jre
export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin:$JRE_HOME/bin

Then you do not need to deal with java version after executed in the upper gist.

Very helpful, thank you.

still is not working. i tried to check my PATH, echo $M2_HOME (it's invisible, not showing) does anybody have a suggestion?

Thanks, @sebsto. This works on Amazon Linux 2.

perfect thank you so much

thanks a lot 👍

This worked great but set maven (and my default java) to use Java 1.7. If you want to use Java 1.8, follow the above gist and then do:

yum search java | grep openjdk
yum install java-1.8.<revision number from yum search>-openjdk-headless.x86_64
yum install java-1.8.<revision number from yum search>-openjdk-devel.x86_64
update-alternatives --config java #pick java 1.8
update-alternatives --config javac #pick java 1.8

Thank you so much!
