APIGEE Maven plugin -installation query

[mytre4411]

Once we install maven from http://maven.apache.org/download.cgi ,is there any additional installation steps to use Maven APIGEE Plugin?

Can we use the below command directly once Maven installation is done?

mvn apigee-enterprise:deploy -P -Dusername= -Dpassword=

Is there any need to clone the https://github.com/apigee/apigee-deploy-maven-plugin/blob/master/README.md repository?If yes,please explain why?

You don't need to clone the entire project from github. What you need to do is setup maven compatible directory structure for you api proxies as described in step 1 and setup your pom files as described .

The apigee maven plugin is available in http://maven.apache.org so it will download all the dependencies when you execute the install command.
