Download Apache Maven 3.3.1
Maven is distributed in several formats for your convenience. Use a source archive if you intend to build Maven yourself. Otherwise, simply pick a ready-made binary distribution and follow the installation instructions given at the end of this document.
You will be prompted for a mirror - if the file is not found on yours, please be patient, as it may take 24 hours to reach all mirrors.
In order to guard against corrupted downloads/installations, it is highly recommended to verify the signature of the release bundles against the public KEYS used by the Apache Maven developers.
Maven is distributed under the Apache License, version 2.0.
We strongly encourage our users to configure a Maven repository mirror closer to their location, please read How to Use Mirrors for Repositories.If you're upgrading from Maven 2.x, be sure to check the Maven 3.x compatibility notes before using this version to avoid surprises: while Maven 3 aims to be backward-compatible with Maven 2.x to the extent possible, there are still a few significant changes.

Previous Releases
All previous releases of Maven can be found in the archives (or legacy archives for versions before 3.0.4).
All sources
All sources (plugins, shared librairies, scm, indexer etc..) can be downloaded from http://www.apache.org/dist/maven/
System Requirements
| JDK | Maven 3.3 requires JDK 1.7 or above, Maven 3.2 requires JDK 1.6 or above, while Maven 3.0/3.1 requires JDK 1.5 or above (this is to execute Maven - it still allows you to build against 1.3 and prior JDK's: see our Guide to Using Toolchains) |
| Memory | No minimum requirement |
| Disk | Approximately 10MB is required for the Maven installation itself. In addition to that, additional disk space will be used for your local Maven repository. The size of your local repository will vary depending on usage but expect at least 500MB. |
| Operating System | No minimum requirement. Start up scripts are included as shell scripts and Windows batch files. |
Installation Instructions
Maven is a Java tool, so you must have Java installed in order to proceed. More precisely, you need a Java Development Kit (JDK), the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is not sufficient. Additional optional installation steps are listed after the platform specific instructions.
Windows
- Unzip the distribution archive, i.e. apache-maven-3.3.1-bin.zip to the directory you wish to install Maven 3.3.1. These instructions assume you chose C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation. The subdirectory apache-maven-3.3.1 will be created from the archive.
- Add the unpacked distribution's bin directory to your user PATH environment variable by opening up the system properties (WinKey + Pause), selecting the "Advanced" tab, and the "Environment Variables" button, then adding or selecting the PATH variable in the user variables with the value C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\apache-maven-3.3.1\bin.
- Optional: In the same dialog, add the MAVEN_OPTS environment variable in the user variables to specify JVM properties, e.g. the value -Xms256m -Xmx512m. This environment variable can be used to supply extra options to Maven.
- In the same dialog, make sure that JAVA_HOME exists in your user variables or in the system variables and it is set to the location of your JDK, e.g. C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_51.
- Open a new command prompt (Winkey + R then type cmd) and run mvn --version to verify that it is correctly installed.
Unix-based Operating Systems (Linux, Solaris and Mac OS X)
- Extract the distribution archive, i.e. apache-maven-3.3.1-bin.tar.gz to the directory you wish to install Maven 3.3.1. These instructions assume you chose /usr/local/apache-maven. The subdirectory apache-maven-3.3.1 will be created from the archive.
- In a command terminal, add unpacked distribution's bin to your PATH environment variable, e.g. export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/apache-maven/apache-maven-3.3.1/bin.
- Optional: Add the MAVEN_OPTS environment variable to specify JVM properties, e.g. export MAVEN_OPTS="-Xms256m -Xmx512m". This environment variable can be used to supply extra options to Maven.
- Make sure that JAVA_HOME is set to the location of your JDK, e.g. export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.7.0_51 .
- Run mvn --version to verify that it is correctly installed.
Optional configuration
Maven will work for most tasks with the above configuration, however if you have any environmental specific configuration outside of individual projects then you will need to configure settings. The following sections refer to what is available.
Settings
Maven has a settings file located in the Maven installation and/or user home directory that configure environmental specifics such as:- HTTP proxy server
- repository manager location
- server authentication and passwords
- other configuration properties
Security
As of Maven 2.1.0+, you can encrypt passwords in your settings file, however you must first configure a master password. For more information on both server passwords and the master password, see the Guide to Password Encryption.
Toolchains
As of Maven 2.0.9+, you can build a project using a specific version of JDK independent from the one Maven is running with. For more information, see the Guide to Using Toolchains.
