problems in installing Karma integration tool for windows 8 64 bit machine

Question

I have installed Maven 3.0.5 on my windows 8 64 bit machine by the following steps:

Downloaded apache-maven-3.0.5.bin.zip and the archive is stored in C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation. I changed the environment variables as follows: M2_HOME with value C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\apache-maven-3.0.5 M2 with value %M2_HOME%\bin JAVE_HOME with value C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_25 PATH with value %M2%;%JAVA_HOME%\bin

after this when i type mvn --version i get

Apache Maven 3.0.5 (r01de14724cdef164cd33c7c8c2fe155faf9602da; 2013-02-19 19:21: 28+0530) Maven home: C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\apache-maven-3.0.5 Java version: 1.8.0_25, vendor: Oracle Corporation Java home: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_25\jre Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: Cp1252 OS name: "windows 8", version: "6.2", arch: "amd64", family: "dos"

I have downloaded JDK and JRE in the folders under C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_25 C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_25

Now for Karma to install I downloaded the Web-Karma-Master zip and the archive is placed under C:\Program Files\Web-Karma-master\Web-Karma-master

Now when I type mvn clean install in this directory I get the following:

Please help. I have done all the above in the same order as mentioned. But I am not able to resolve this problem.

Are you behind a proxy server? If so, you need to configure proxy settings in your settings.xml. — Raghuram

Create a file settings.xml in .m2 folder of your HOME directory. Add the following:

<settings xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0"
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0
                      http://maven.apache.org/xsd/settings-1.0.0.xsd">
  <proxies>
    <proxy>
      <id>myproxy</id>
      <active>true</active>
      <protocol>http</protocol>
      <host>your.org</host>
      <port>8080</port>
      <username>proxyuser</username>
      <password>somepassword</password>
      <nonProxyHosts>*.your.org</nonProxyHosts>
    </proxy>
  </proxies>

</settings>

Remove <username> and <password> tags if your proxy server does not need authentication. You can look for the values for these in your browser settings.

Also refer to proxies section of maven settings reference.
