maven setup and enviroment file

tadcan

To get maven setup it seems there is more than just installing it in the SC. According to this howto, there is a line to be added to etc/environment which doesn't exist. Is there an alternative file in Solus or do I just make one?

Solus has a stateless configuration. It stores it's (associated) config files in /usr/share/defaults. But if you need, you can
create the needed file in it's "usual" location (-> /etc/*). It will then take precedence.
So just create your /etc/environment file...

Thanks.
Edit. So step five of the above link doesn't work in Solus. Is there a guide to getting it working?

Maven's always worked out of the box on Solus for me, from the SC. What exactly isn't working for you?

When I run maven -version in the terminal, it says command not found. Also tried to run a maven-archetype-quickstart it says pom not found. Shouldn't there be a maven directory or file in my home folder?

tadcan That's normal... the binary name is mvn, not maven

mvn --version

That works, thanks. When I tried to start a new project the previous time, I must have put in a bad command. I have everything working now.
