title: Installing Maven 3.3.9, how to set M2_HOME, MAVEN_HOME and bin folder?
body: <p>I am trying to install Maven 3.3.9 on my new laptop but it seems to be incredibly difficult. I am not sure what changed since versions 3.0 which I have been mostly using but now I cant set <code>M2_HOME</code>, <code>MAVEN_HOME</code> and <code>PATH</code> variables properly.</p>
  
  <p>Maven home page tells me to set it like this:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><code>MAVEN_HOME</code>: C:/apache-maven-3.3.9 </li>
  <li><code>M2_HOME</code>: C:/apache-maven-3.3.9</li>
  <li><code>PATH</code>: C:/apache-maven-3.3.9/bin</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>but that, as you may guess, doesn't work. Whats more, there is even no <code>bin</code> folder inside apache-maven-3.3.9!
  I have found directory: <em>C:/apache-maven-3.3.9/apache-maven/src/bin</em> but it doesn't help as well.</p>
  
  <p>How to set it properly?</p>
