What is Maven?
                            The Maven is one of the build tools, which is used in the CICD pipeline to build the package like a jar, war.. etc

To install the maven locally we need to download the source code package from the Apache official website

Apache Official URL:  https://maven.apache.org/download.cgi

To download the Maven package from the Apache website use the below command on the linux machine

Command: wget https://dlcdn.apache.org/maven/maven-3/3.8.6/binaries/apache-maven-3.8.6-bin.tar.gz

I am downloading maven 3.8.6 you can download the latest Maven version using the above Apache official url

Untar the downloaded file and move the name as maven and mv the directory into the /opt directory.

Commands:

tar -xvf apache-maven-3.8.6-bin.tar.gz

mv apache-maven-3.8.6  /opt/

mv apache-maven-3.8.6   maven

Once maven is placed in the /opt we need to set the maven path in env.variables for that we need to edit the .bash_profile file and add the below lines.

M2_HOME=/opt/maven

M2=/opt/maven/bin

Path add the $M2_HOME:$M2

After the update we need to verify whether the env.variables are set or not, to verify using the below command.

source ~/.bash_profile

echo $PATH

Checking the maven version by running the below command

Command: mvn --version 

Now successfully maven installed, we need to setup the maven path in the Jenkins

To set up Maven click manage Jenkins → Global Tool configuration and scroll down until the Maven installations step.

Click add Maven → For the name need to give them as maven and maven_home path also need to give the home path /opt/maven → click apply and save.

Now all setup is completed, we can create the new maven project with SCM and check

Log in to Jenkins and create a new job by clicking the option new item and create the maven build job

Create the new job log in the Jenkins -- > create the job --> give the name of the job --> click maven project

In the Configuration of git, you need to give the maven project, I had a repo in my GitHub account.

Save and run the Jenkins job and see the logs

The Maven project successfully created and ran it successfully.
