Many of us who use maven are used to using apt-get or yum on linux based systems. Well, WINDOWS has a third party package management system called Chocolatey.
On their website, you run this command in an ADMINISTRATIVE command prompt (you know.. right click cmd and run as administrator):
and then choco install maven. Now you may have to specify a version (choco install maven -version 3.2.5), if the mirror chocolatey attempts to use does not have the version chocolatey is trying to download.
