Zeppelin: web Application failure while building zeppelin - node.js

Question

I am trying to build apache zeppelin using the instructions in this tutorial : Installing Zeppelig Tutorial
I installed spark 2.0 and maven 3.3.9 the latest versions. I used the following command to build zeppelin:
sudo mvn clean package -DskipTests -Psparkr -Ppyspark -Pspark-2.0 -Dflink
I got this error:

There is another thread on stackoverflow with the same error and #dirceusemighini suggests to cd to zeppelin-web and run the following command. The reason i created another question is because i am a new stack user and it wont let me comment to that question.
./bower install
I have tried that and i got the following error:
module.js:338
throw err;

Answer 1

The problem for me was Maven installation. I uninstall Maven and i reinstall it manually to /usr/local/apache-maven/
Then using a text editor i set the environment variables and re-run the build. Build was successful now. I don't know the actual cause of that but at the end it works..
gedit ~/.bashrc
export M2_HOME=/usr/local/apache-maven/apache-maven-3.3.9
export PATH=${M2_HOME}/bin:${PATH}
Run the build:
mvn clean package -DskipTests
