## 2.4 Installing Apache Maven

Apache Maven, or Maven for short, is a software project management and comprehension tool which uses a central Project Object Model (POM) to manage a project’s build, reporting and documentation generation. POM files (`pom.xml`) are included in the projects for GreenPages.

To install Maven, visit the Maven website (http://maven.apache.org) and follow the download instructions from there. This document has been written and tested with Maven version 2.2.0. The rest of the document assumes that Maven commands (`mvn …`) are available from the command line.
