MVN is not recognised as internal or external command. UPDATE: JAVA_HOME is not defined is error now in cmd

Question

Whenever I type mvn -version to check version installed it says that "mvn is not an internal or external command" in cmd.

I have added images to show that I have added environmental variable and the path. do check those and help out.

UPDATE :

After having been told that i have to remove \bin from environment variable of both JAVA_HOME and MAVEN_HOME. now I'm getting error in cmd as JAVA_HOME is not defined.

Environmental variable image

Path Image

Your MVN_HOME should be the maven root folder (G:\compressed\apache-maven-3.8.4) not up to the bin folder.

Change MVN_HOME variable to G:\compressed\apache-maven-3.8.4 then open a new cmd prompt then the command will work.

Now another issue popped up, it says Java_home environment variable not defined correctly. Though i have checked Java -- version and it works fine giving me the version of Java installed 1.80 – Naveen patil Feb 17 '22 at 04:27
@Naveenpatil it's the same issue remove the `\bin` from your `JAVA_HOME` env variable. – seenukarthi Feb 17 '22 at 04:44
Yes done it. removed \bin from environmental variable of both JAVA_HOME and MAVEN_HOME. it still says same JAVA_HOME is not defined. – Naveen patil Feb 17 '22 at 05:09
can you post the output of `echo %JAVA_HOME%`. – seenukarthi Feb 17 '22 at 07:19
it says C:\Program files\Java\jdk1.8.0.91\bin – Naveen patil Feb 17 '22 at 07:47
Still the variable is set up to bin it should be `C:\Program files\Java\jdk1.8.0.91` – seenukarthi Feb 17 '22 at 08:46
i had changed in the system variable and removed \bin but for some reason problem persisted! then when i changed in user variable and waah la... its working! thanks for help your the best! – Naveen patil Feb 17 '22 at 10:29
