Here is a step-by-step guide on how to set up Maven on Windows:

    Download the Maven binary archive: Visit the Apache Maven download page (https://maven.apache.org/download.cgi) and download the Maven binary archive file, apache-maven-x.x.x-bin.zip, where x.x.x is the version number.

    Extract the archive: Extract the contents of the archive to a directory of your choice, such as C:\Program Files\Apache\maven.

    Set the M2_HOME environment variable: Open the System Properties dialog and select the Advanced tab. Click on the Environment Variables button, then create a new System Variable with the name M2_HOME and the value C:\Program Files\Apache\maven.

    Add %M2_HOME%\bin to the PATH environment variable: Find the PATH environment variable in the System Variables and append the value ;%M2_HOME%\bin to the end of the PATH value.

    Verify the installation: Open a new Command Prompt window and run the following command to verify that Maven is installed:

mvn -v

If Maven is installed correctly, you will see output similar to the following:
