[FIXED] Maven Wrapper not working on Windows OS

Issue

I always use a Mac at work and build my Spring and Spring Boot apps using command line and using maven installed. So normally I write:

mvn clean install

Now I was using my girlfriend Windows PC and I don't want to install maven on it. My idea was to use the maven wrapper provided by Spring initializer when you open a new project from IntelliJ IDEA CE.

I've tried many combinations by the command line windows within IntelliJ but the command is always not recognized. What am I getting wrong?

I've tried:

./mvnw clean
./mvn clean
mvnw.cmd clean
./mvnw.cmd clean

but with no results at all. I attach the image of the project with the maven wrapper folder opened to show its contents.

Solution

You need to descend one more directory level down from what I can tell in your screenshot.

cd C:\Users\DeboraPC\Downloads\demoRossini\demoRossini
mvnw clean install
