  • Download Maven zip file from their official site. We are going to install Maven 3.3.9. So go ahead download the corresponding zip file - apache-maven-3.3.9-bin.zip
  • Unzip it to some folder.  I have extracted it in folder - C:\Users\athakur\Softwares\apache-maven-3.3.9
  • Now add M2_HOME and MAVEN_HOME environment variable and point them to your extracted folder.
  • Append your %PATH% variable to add %M2_HOME%\bin
