Installing Maven

Maven's installation is quite similar to that of Scala. Go to https://maven.apache.org/download.cgi and download the apache-maven-*.*.*-bin.tar.gz archive. At the time of writing this book, the newest version was 3.5.2. Similarly to Scala, open the Terminal, navigate to the folder you have just downloaded the archive to, and type:

tar -xvf apache-maven-3.5.2-bin.tar.gz

sudo mv apache-maven-3.5.2-bin/ /opt/apache-maven/

Once again, that is it for what you need to do with regards to installing Maven. Check the next subsection for instructions on how to update your PATH.
