Configuring Maven Using Jenkins CLI

Follow the steps mentioned below to configure maven in jenkins using jenkins CLI

Step 1: Using the below command, first verify whether the maven is installed or not.

mvn -v

• mvn: This is the executable for the Maven command-line tool.
• -v: This is a flag that tells mvn to display the version information.

In my instance, the error “command not found” indicates that Maven is not installed, as you can see in the image. Rewrite the sentence

Step 2: To install Maven within your Jenkins environment, use this command:

sudo apt install maven

• sudo: stands for “superuser do” and is used to execute commands with administrative privileges. Since installing software often requires modifying system files, sudo is necessary to grant those permissions.
• apt: is the package manager used by Debian-based systems. It manages the installation, removal, and updating of software packages. Think of it like a central app store for your system.
• install: is a command within the apt package manager that instructs it to install a specific software package.
• maven: is the name of the software package you want to install. In this case, it’s “maven,” which refers to the Apache Maven software, a popular build automation tool used for managing project lifecycles in software development.

Step 2: Once you’ve run the sudo apt install maven command, let’s verify if the installation was successful.

mvn -v

The image confirms successful Maven 3.8.7 installation using sudo apt install maven.
