Intellij 'mvn' is not recognized as an internal or external command

Question

I have installed maven on my pc and if I type "mvn --version" in the cmd, I get:

Apache Maven 3.3.3 (7994120775791599e205a5524ec3e0dfe41d4a06; 2015-04-22T14:57:37+03:00)
Maven home: C:\Users\mmmm\Downloads\apache-maven-3.3.3-bin\apache-maven-3.3.3
Java version: 1.8.0_251, vendor: Oracle Corporation
Java home: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_251\jre
Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: Cp1252
OS name: "windows 10", version: "10.0", arch: "amd64", family: "dos"

The problem is that from Intellij, if I try to do a mvn clean install from the terminal, I get "'mvn' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."

My system variables contain these:

M2_HOME = C:\Users\mmmm\Downloads\apache-maven-3.3.3-bin\apache-maven-3.3.3
M2 = %M2_HOME%\bin
Path = %M2_HOME%\bin

How can I fix this?

Solution

I have also installed JDK 1.8 and Maven3 as below:

>java -version
java version "1.8.0_121"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_121-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.121-b13, mixed mode)

>javac -version
javac 1.8.0_121

>mvn -version
Apache Maven 3.6.3 (cecedd343002696d0abb50b32b541b8a6ba2883f)
Maven home: C:\SDK\maven\apache-maven-3.6.3\bin\..
Java version: 1.8.0_121, vendor: Oracle Corporation, runtime: C:\java\jdk1.8\jre
Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: MS932
OS name: "windows 10", version: "10.0", arch: "amd64", family: "windows"

I found the problem is the environment variables of terminal:

Copy your bin path of JDK and Maven into it!! And then restart your Terminal.

Have you configured the Maven home directory under Settings > Build, Execution, Deployment > Build Tools > Maven?
