No valid Maven installation found. Either set the home directory in the configuration dialog or set the M2_HOME environment variable on your system

Question

I am using intellij and my M2 and M2_HOME are set and are in .bash_profile, however I have this error :

any idea why it does not work with environment variable ?

GUI apps don't read `.bash_profile`. If you are on Mac, refer to http://stackoverflow.com/q/135688/104891. — CrazyCoder, Nov 17 '13 at 15:16
@CrazyCoder, it works after checking the link you mentioned, thanks a lot! — akaliza, Nov 17 '13 at 21:27

Selecting "Bundled Maven" instead of "Maven wrapper" fixed the issue for me.

On Mac (I am using macOS Sierra 10.12.1, IntelliJ IDEA 2016.2).

Choose command+, , choose Build, Execution, Deployment, choose Build Tools, then press Maven

then set Maven home directory: correctly

for example: /Users/donhuvy/Documents/program_files/apache-maven-3.3.9

Check your File-->settings-->Maven, Maven directory home which should points to your maven home installed in your computer. Then, create a new M2_Home in your system environment which is also your maven home, and then add %M2_Home%\bin to your path.

I have same issue. I think the reason for the maven auto update

There are two ways to solve the problem.:

Change the Maven path and Maven setting file path.(I use it.) File->preferences->Build,Excution,Deployment...->Build Tool -> Maven.you can reset it.
Reset local computer environment variable for Maven.
