Not able to launch apache apex cli

Question

I am trying to launch Apache Apex cli but not able to do so. the document says just type apex on command prompt but that says No command 'apex' found

Are there some pre steps which i need to perform before start using it?

I have all prerequisites available like, Hadoop, JDK 7, Git and Maven.

Answer 1

apex cli is an interface provided to users to interact (launch, monitor, manage ec.) with the Apache Apex Applications. You can find short information about how to build and use it at : Apex Core git repository

Detailed information can be found here: Documentation

Answer 2

Did you build apex-core? If not please run mvn clean install in apex-core directory
