Hi @ashwinka,

That is a quite old archetype version you are using there. I tried version 39 just a few days ago and it works fine. Check out this official tutorial: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-learn/getting-started-wknd-tutorial-de...

Hope this helps,

Daniel

Hi @daniel-strmecki ,

Thanks for the reply ,

As @daniel-strmecki mentioned, you're using old maven archetype version and archetype repository

(org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:3.2.1:generate) is not defined in the command you posted

Please use the new version and update the appTitle, artifactId, appID as per your requirements

mvn -B org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:3.2.1:generate -D archetypeGroupId=com.adobe.aem -D archetypeArtifactId=aem-project-archetype -D archetypeVersion=39 -D appTitle="WKND Sites Project" -D appId="wknd" -D groupId="com.adobe.aem.guides" -D artifactId="aem-guides-wknd" -D package="com.adobe.aem.guides.wknd" -D version="0.0.1-SNAPSHOT" -D aemVersion="6.5.18"

Latest archetype details are listed here - https://github.com/adobe/aem-project-archetype#usage

Hope this helps !

thanks in advance

[PRATHYUSHA_VP · Accepted solution]

Please paste the command in notepad and update the " " quotes properly (updated in above mvn command. Please try again). i have tried the same it is working as expected

If still facing issue, please run the command prompt in administrator mode to give full permission -

1. Start command prompt terminal with administrator rights and run the same maven command. It worked as expected and build is success

2. To start command prompt with admin rights, right click on cmd and click on run as administrator

Hope this helps !

Thanks
