I am new to Maven and I am trying to add a custom jar to my local repository. In my command I run the following:

C:\Users\tj>mvn install:install-file -Dfile= <C:\Users\tj\neon\couponsBasic.jar> -DgroupId=<com.coupons> -DartifactId=<coupons> -Dversion=<1.0> -Dpackaging=<jar> -DgeneratePom=true

The jar is in that location but my response is:

The system cannot find the file specified.

Is there something that I am missing here? Should I save the file directly into the M2 folder? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
