When i did mvn --version it shows me version is 3.8.6

rohail@rohail-machine:/media/rohail/hard hdd1/http-request-plugin-master$ mvn --version
Apache Maven 3.8.6 (84538c9988a25aec085021c365c560670ad80f63)
Maven home: /opt/maven
Java version: 11.0.16, vendor: Ubuntu, runtime: /usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64
Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: UTF-8
OS name: "linux", version: "5.15.0-48-generic", arch: "amd64", family: "UNIX"

When I did sudo mvn --version it shows me version is 3.6.3


rohail@rohail-machine:/media/rohail/hard hdd1/http-request-plugin-master$ sudo mvn --version
[sudo] password for rohail: 
Apache Maven 3.6.3

I want the latest version of maven to be installed, I tried to remove the older one but failed to do so.

sudo ln -s /opt/apache-maven-3.8.4 /opt/maven – Rohail Iqbal Oct 25 '22 at 18:47
sudo nano /etc/profile.d/maven.sh – Rohail Iqbal Oct 25 '22 at 18:47
after this i added the following in maven,sh export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/default-java export M2_HOME=/opt/maven export MAVEN_HOME=/opt/maven export PATH=${M2_HOME}/bin:${PATH} – Rohail Iqbal Oct 25 '22 at 18:48
