maven - 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 variable. All are system variables. Still getting the same problem.

Echoing the variables showing me the correct paths.

Path to Maven: C:apache-maven-3.1.0apache-maven-3.1.0

M2_HOME:C:apache-maven-3.1.0apache-maven-3.1.0

PATH: Other things,C:Program Files (x86)Javajdk1.7.0_40in,C:apache-maven-3.1.0apache-maven-3.1.0in

and I have restarted my computer twice.

Answer 1

Right click on My Computer >> Properties >> Advanced system settings >> System Properties window will get displayed Under Advanced >> Environment Variables

Click on New to set Environment Variables

Variable name: JAVA_HOME Variable value: C:Program FilesJavajdk1.8.0_121

Variable name: M2 Variable value: %M2_HOME%in

Variable name: M2_HOME Variable value: C:Program FilesApache Software Foundationapache-maven-3.5.0

Variable name: Path Variable value: %M2_HOME%in

Then click on Ok, ok, ok. Now restart you command prompt and check again with “mvn –version” to verify the mvn is running, you may restart your system also.

It's Working...... Enjoy :)
