[root@hackthesec /]# wget http://apache.mirrors.tds.net/maven/maven-3/3.3.9/binaries/apache-maven-3.3.9-bin.zip 
  
[root@hackthesec /]# unzip apache-maven-3.3.9-bin.zip

OR

[root@hackthesec /]# cd /usr/local   
[root@hackthesec /]# wget http://apache.mirrors.tds.net/maven/maven-3/3.3.9/binaries/apache-maven-3.3.9-bin.tar.gz   
[root@hackthesec /]# tar xzvf apache-maven-3.3.9-bin.tar.gz  
[root@hackthesec /]# mv apache-maven-3.3.9 maven

  Alternatively use your preferred archive extraction tool.   Add the bin directory of the created directory apache-maven-3.3.9 to the PATH environment variable   Confirm with mvn -v in a new shell. The result should look similar to -.
