mvn-install

mvn install [options]

mvn install is a Maven build lifecycle phase that builds the project and installs the resulting artifact (JAR, WAR, etc.) to the local Maven repository at ~/.m2/repository. This makes the artifact available as a dependency for other local projects.Running `mvn install` executes all preceding lifecycle phases in order: validate, compile, test, package, verify, and finally install. Each phase runs its bound plugin goals.The local repository acts as a cache for both locally built artifacts and dependencies downloaded from remote repositories. Installing an artifact locally is a prerequisite for other local projects to depend on it during development.

-DskipTests

Skip test execution but still compile tests.

Skip test compilation and execution entirely.

Activate a build profile defined in pom.xml.

Build only specified modules (comma-separated).

Also build required upstream modules (use with -pl).

Work offline, use only locally cached dependencies.

Force update of snapshot dependencies from remote repositories.

Number of threads for parallel module builds (e.g., 4 or 1C for one thread per CPU core).

Enable debug output for troubleshooting.

Show full stack traces on errors.

Quiet output, only show errors.

Use an alternative POM file.

The install phase runs all tests by default; use -DskipTests to skip. The local repository (~/.m2/repository) can grow large over time. Snapshot versions are not automatically updated unless -U is used. Multi-module projects install all modules by default.
