Please note the ''Destination Folder'' as it will be set as your ''MAVEN_HOME'' variable. or - * '''Decompress''': use your preferred decompressing tool to extract into a folder of choice. Please note the ''Destination Folder'' as you will set your ''MAVEN_HOME'' variable to it. + * '''Decompress''': use your preferred decompressing tool to extract into a folder of choice. Please note the ''Destination Folder'' as you will set your {{{MAVEN_HOME}}} variable to it. - * '''Verify Environment Variables''': under Windows 2000 and Windows XP, open the Control Panel, and open the System panel. Under the Advanced tab, select the Environment Variables button. Maven needs a ''JAVA_HOME'' environment variable set this variable should be the directory where a JDK is installed (note that a JRE is not sufficient). This directory will contain the bin, jre and lib directories. Check if you have this variable, if not, set it to your [http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/install-windows.html JDK Installation] main folder (Something like: ''C:\jdk1.5.0_04''). If you used Windows Installer ''MAVEN_HOME'' variable should be already set, if it's not please follow next step. + * '''Verify Environment Variables''': under Windows 2000 and Windows XP, open the Control Panel, and open the System panel.

Under the Advanced tab, select the Environment Variables button. It is convenient to add ''MAVEN_HOME'' to the ''PATH'' variable so Maven commands can be accessible system wide. + * '''Add {{{%MAVEN_HOME%\bin}}} to the {{{PATH}}} Variable'''(Optional): under Windows 2000 and Windows XP, open the Control Panel, and open the System panel. Under the Advanced tab, select the Environment Variables button. It is convenient to add {{{MAVEN_HOME}}} to the {{{PATH}}} variable so Maven commands can be accessible system wide. - *''User PATH'': if you want Maven commands accessible system wide just for the current user and you already have a ''PATH'' user variable, select it and click Edit, go to the end of the variable value and if there isn't one add a semicolon (;) and after it "%MAVEN_HOME%" (without quotes) then click OK. If there is not a ''PATH'' user variable create one by clicking the New... button and input PATH as the Variable Name and "%MAVEN_HOME%\bin" (without quotes) as the Variable Value, then click OK. + *''User {{{PATH}}}'': if you want Maven commands accessible system wide just for the current user and you already have a {{{PATH}}} user variable, select it and click Edit, go to the end of the variable value and if there isn't one add a semicolon {{{;}}} and after it {{{%MAVEN_HOME%\bin}}} then click OK. If there is not a {{{PATH}}} user variable create one by clicking the New... button and input PATH as the Variable Name and {{{%MAVEN_HOME%\bin}}} as the Variable Value, then click OK. - *''System PATH'': if you want Maven commands accessible system wide for every user , select ''PATH'' system variable and click Edit, go to the end of the variable value and if there isn't one add a semicolon (;) and after it "%MAVEN_HOME%\bin" (without quotes) then click OK. + *''System {{{PATH}}}'': if you want Maven commands accessible system wide for every user, select {{{PATH}}} system variable and click Edit, go to the end of the variable value and if there isn't one add a semicolon {{{;}}} and after it {{{%MAVEN_HOME%\bin}}} then click OK. - * '''Test Maven''': by now your Maven should be working. Open a command prompt, if you added ''MAVEN_HOME'' to your user or system ''PATH'' variable, you should be able to type "maven -v" (no quotes) anywhere, if not you should be inside the folder where you installed Maven.
