In this article, I write down how to intall Maven into Ubuntu(WSL2). I don't explain what Maven is. If you want to know it, please read Maven – Welcome to Apache Maven page.

At the fist, you need to update your Ubuntu repogitory to the latest using the following command:

[Ubuntu: ~]$sudo apt update

Then, upgrade Ubuntu:

[Ubuntu: ~]$sudo apt upgrade

Check that OS is upgraded/updated as follows:

[Ubuntu: ~]$cat /etc/os-release
