Downloading Maven

Downloading Apache Maven is a must if you want to use the Sphynx software (as I do).

1. To begin, go to the Maven website. On the left hand side of the page, there is a navigation bar. Underneath the "Get Maven" headline is the "Download" page. Click on this link.

2. This will bring you to the following page. Scroll down to the Maven 3.25 section and click on the apache-maven-3.2.5-bin.tar.gz.

3. This will allow the .tar.gz file to be dowloaded. Double click on the file to unzip it. Now open the folder, and click on the read me file. This file contains the instructions for how to successfully finish dowloading Maven.

4. Check your system requirements before continuing, and then follow the installation instructions. I will be following the directions for Mac setup (Unix-based operating system)

**NOTE: When typing in commands replace the x and y values with whatever version you are running.

**Also, everything is fairly straightforward until Step 4. Use the following link for reference.
