I have installed maven on my machine with Java already present. but when i hit any maven command it tells Java path is not set correctly. I tried with a lot of export commands as well but din't worked out for me

Logs

[root@sandbox test]# mvn --version

You need to export JAVA_HOME and add that to the end of PATH variable — Kavitha Karunakaran

It's only necessary to set JAVA_HOME correctly to get Maven working. Adding to the PATH is only needed if you like to call Java yourself... — khmarbaise
