2.4. Testing a Maven Installation
Once Maven is installed, you can check the version by running mvn -v
from the command line. If Maven has been installed, you should see
something resembling the following output.
$ mvn -v
Apache Maven 3.0.5 (r01de14724cdef164cd33c7c8c2fe155faf9602da; 2013-02-19 05:51:28-0800)
Maven home: /usr/local/maven
Java version: 1.7.0_75, vendor: Oracle Corporation
Java home: /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_75.jdk/Contents/Home/jre
Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: UTF-8
OS name: "mac os x", version: "10.8.5", arch: "x86_64", family: "mac"
If you see this output, you know that Maven is available and ready to
be used. If you do not see this output, and your operating system
cannot find the mvn command, make sure that your PATH environment
variable and M2_HOME environment variable have been properly set.
