Following this tutorial https://www.tutorialspoint.com/maven/maven_environment_setup.htm

Download maven from http://maven.apache.org/download.cgi

M2_HOME:

M2:
%M2_HOME%\bin

JAVA_HOME:

edit: 1

The directory bincontains: enter image description here

edit: 2

for the creation of the variables for maven, create a variable with its values, in this way:

I followed the steps of @Voiser

restart the machine, now I get this error Could not find or load main class org.codehaus.plexus.classworlds.launcher.Launcher

edit 3: the variables on my system are:

C:\Users\DH-User15>echo %M2_HOME% %M2_HOME%

C:\Users\DH-User15>echo %M3_HOME% C:\apache-maven-3.5.0

C:\Users\DH-User15>echo %M2% C:\apache-maven-3.5.0\bin

    Install Maven:

    1. 1.-Download the binaries in zip.
    2. 2.- Place the zip in a desired directory, for example in the root "C:\", leaving the full path: C:\apache-maven-3.2.2.zip
    3. 3.- Unzip zip with winrar or 7zip for example.
    4. 4.- To decompress the binaries, a folder C:\apache-maven-3.2.2 will be created, within that directory are the maven binaries.

    Once placed and unzipped maven, create the environment variables.

    Prerequisites: java environment variables

    JAVA_HOME C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1. 7.0_17.

    Variables for maven:

    M2= %M2_HOME%\bin

    M2_HOME= C:\apache-maven-3.2.2

    Path ...; C:\apache-maven-3.2.2\bin; ...

    My suggestion is to restart the pc when I finish creating the environment variables.

    Upon reboot, open a CMD console and type the following:

    mvn -version

    If everything is OK, you will see a message:

    C:\Users\xxx>mvn -version Apache Maven 3.2.2 (45f7c06d68e745d05611f7fd14efb6594181933e; 2014-06-17T08:51:42-05:00) Maven home: C:\apache-maven-3.2.2 Java version: 1.6. 0_35, vendor: Sun Microsystems Inc. Java home: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_35\jre Default locale: es_MX, platform encoding: Cp1252 OS name: "windows 7", version: "6.1", arch: "amd64", family: "windows" C:\Users\xxx>

    This output is with version: apache-maven-3.2.2

  2. I INSTALLED MAVEN ON WINDOWS 10

    After installation I got the message: " Could not find or load main class org.codehaus.plexus.classworlds.launcher.Launcher "

    I just followed the instructions on the page: https://maven.apache.org/install.html I didn't require "M2", "M2_HOME", "M3", "M3_HOME" or any other.

    1.- I downloaded the Binary zip archive from the page: https://maven.apache.org/download.cgi#Installation I unzipped it in **C:\apache-maven-3.6.1**

    2.- I checked my " JAVA_HOME " ( Environment Variables - User Variables for... ) that had the path of my JDK " C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_171 "

    3.- I verified (added) my "Path" " C:\apache-maven-3.6.1 " as it is written ( I did not put a forward slash at the end ).

    4.- I checked the MAVEN version with " mvn -v " and it gave me the correct information.

    Apache Maven 3.6.1 (d66c9c0b3152b2e69ee9bac180bb8fcc8e6af555; 2019-04-04T13:00:29-06:00) Maven home: C:\apache-maven-3.6.1\bin.. Java version: 1.8.0_171, vendor: Oracle Corporation , runtime: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_171\jre Default locale: es_MX, platform encoding: Cp1252 OS name: "windows 10", version: "10.0", arch: "amd64", family: "windows "

    and ready!

  3. There is a "space" you need to remove, change this %JAVA_HOME%\bin; %M2%to this%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%M2%
