Problem scenario
How do you install Apache Maven on any distribution of Linux?
Solution
Prerequisite: You must have Java installed for Maven to work after it is installed. It may make sense to install Java before you install Maven. Understand that mvn commands will not work until Java has been installed. If you need assistance install Java, see this posting.
Procedures
