Description

The Installation instructions for Apache (https://maven.apache.org/install.html) do not work when attempting to install on my Mac. After following the installation instructions, the following error is observed when attempting to run a:

mvn -v
Error: Could not find or load main class org.codehaus.plexus.classworlds.launcher.Launcher

However, when I did an:
export $M2_HOME=/opt/apache-maven-3.3.3

It worked fine.
