Unable to find option to create new Maven project in IntelliJ IDEA 2016.1

Question

I am trying to create a new Maven project using IntelliJ IDEA 2016.1. I am asking for help from the Jetbrains man page .

Following step 1, I click File -> New -> Module , and I am shown a parameter dialog without the Maven option.

I have Maven installed and I can use it through the command line.

Answer 1

Turns out I didn't have a Maven plugin.

To enable it, I went to File -> Settings... -> Plugins and checked the box with Maven. One restart later and it works great.

Answer 2

File-> New-> Project ... Perhaps you will find out.
