3. Also set variable M2 = %M2_HOME%\bin

4. Open CMD and write mvn

I solved thank you

Answer 2

Running command prompt as Administrator solved the problem for me. I did not have to move M2 or M2_HOME under system variables.

Answer 3

I had similar issue on Windows 7. At first I setup M2, M2_HOME under User variable but when I echoed %PATH% , I did not see maven bin directory listed under PATH. Then I setup M2, M2_HOME under system variable and it worked.

Answer 4

The accepted answer didn't help but simple step below fix it !

Under system PATH: instead of using M2%, use %M2_HOME%\bin, as simple as that.

N.B my %M2_HOME% is pointing to %MV3_HOME% instead of actual absolute path bcos I have multiple version of maven installed and trying to be clever (switch between maven versions on the same box for different project).

Answer 5

I have got it solved by adding Path variable in user variables as %JAVA_HOME%\bin;%M2_HOME%\bin;

Go to the

> Enviornment Variables > set Path=D:\apache-maven-3.2.1\bin

restart command and try
