In this tutorial I’ll show you on how to setup/install Maven in Windows 7. To run maven from command line in Windows you should have properly set JAVA_HOME, MAVEN_HOME & PATH environment variables.

    It looks easy! However, I get this error, Error: -classpath requires class path specification
    I’ve downloaded apache-maven-3.5.2 and unzipped it in a location without spaces in C:/Apps/Maven. I’ve validated the JAVA_HOME, it comes up correctly in shell. I am at a loss, can you help?
    Thank you!
