setting-up-maven

## Steps to install maven (tested on AWS ec2-instance running on Amazon Linux AMI)
$sudo wget http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/dchen/apache-maven/epel-apache-maven.repo -O /etc/yum.repos.d/epel-apache-maven.repo
$sudo sed -i s/\$releasever/6/g /etc/yum.repos.d/epel-apache-maven.repo  ## replace releasever by 6 in .repo file
$sudo yum install -y apache-maven
$export PATH=$PATH:<path of bin directory of maven>
$export MAVEN_HOME=/usr/share/apache-maven
$mvn --version

Go to your maven-project's directory and check if the maven is working:
$mvn test
