35 35  
36 -(a) You can use MacPorts ([[https:~~/~~/www.macports.org>>url:https://www.macports.org||shape="rect"]]) to install:
7 +{{tip title="Mac Tip"}}

10 +{noformat}
11 +sudo port install maven3
12 +{noformat}
41 41  
42 -(b) Or similarly via Homebrew ([[http:~~/~~/brew.sh>>url:http://brew.sh||shape="rect"]]):
14 +In future, to keep this up to date:
15 +{noformat}
16 +sudo port upgrade maven3

43 43  
44 -{{code language="bash" theme="Emacs" title="Homebrew usage"}}

19 +Don't forget to install maven_select:
20 +{noformat}
21 +sudo port install maven_select
22 +{noformat}
47 47  
48 -(c) Or manually by downloading the binary tarball, copying it to /usr/local/, unpacking it, soft linking it and adding the path to your bash_profile:
