mvn command is not recognized as an internal or external command

Question

I am getting the mvn command not recognized as an internal or external command.

I have setup the M2_HOME, JAVA_HOME and added %M2_HOME%/bin to the path

Answer 1

Are you trying to reference a user variable in system variables? Try echo %path% and the M2 should have been fully expanded to show the file path to your Maven directory. If it hasn't, then that's the problem.

To fix it, you should create a user variable called PATH and add your %M2% reference into there.
