Where is Maven Installed on Ubuntu

I installed maven on my Ubuntu machine with the command sudo apt-get install maven

Now I need to know where it is installed in order to configure the same in IntelliJ..

Ubuntu, which is a Debian derivative, follows a very precise structure when installing packages. In other words, all software installed through the packaging tools, such as apt-get or synaptic, will put the stuff in the same locations. If you become familiar with these locations, you'll always know where to find your stuff.

As a short cut, you can always open a tool like synaptic, find the installed package, and inspect the "properties". Under properties, you'll see a list of all installed files. Again, you can expect these to always follow the Debian/Ubuntu conventions; these are highly ordered Linux distributions. IN short, binaries will be in /usr/bin, or some other location on your path ( try 'echo $PATH' on the command line to see the possible locations ). Configuration is always in a subdirectory of /etc. And the "home" is typically in /usr/lib or /usr/share.

For instance, according to http://www.mkyong.com/maven/how-to-install-maven-in-ubuntu/, maven is installed like:

The Apt-get installation will install all the required files in the following folder structure

/usr/bin/mvn

/usr/share/maven2/

/etc/maven2

P.S The Maven configuration is store in /etc/maven2

Note, it's not just apt-get that will do this, it's any .deb package installer.

Depends on what you are looking for. If you are looking for the executable :

$ whereis mvn

If you are looking for the libs and repo :

$ locate maven

With the locate command, you could also pipe it to grep to find a particular library, i.e.

$ locate maven | grep 'jetty'

HTH

$ mvn --version

and look for Maven home: in the output , mine is: Maven home: /usr/share/maven
