Re: installing maven - potential FAQ

[Brett Porter]

I've also made a patch to correct the plugin directory error message (rather than changing the docs). Will send it to the devel list momentarily (and the issue in JIRA as I found it).

Cheers,
Brett

Here is the best way to install (assuming all users are in group maven):
as root:
cd /usr/local/
tar zxf maven-XXX.tar.gz
ln -s maven-XXX maven
cd maven
chgrp -R maven plugins repository
chmod -R g+w plugins repository

Here is an even better one:

Check on the "read-only" patch I sent to the devel-list a little while
ago and then run maven exactly once with "-g" as root to create all the caches. After that, no user needs to write to the maven dirs.
