How to update version of Maven used by IntelliJ IDEA

I try to open the Maven project in IntelliJ IDEA. This project uses spark and scala. When I run:

mvn clean install -DskipTests

it gives the error:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.scalastyle:scalastyle-maven-plugin:0.7.0:check (default) on project spark-mllib_2.10: Failed during scalastyle execution: You have 50 Scalastyle violation(s)

I think that the problem is in the version of Maven. Indeed, in IntelliJ IDEA Settings, I have the version Bundled (Maven 3) 3.0.5, while pom.xml defines <maven.version>3.3.3</maven.version> If I run mvn -version in terminal, it points Maven 3.3.3

So, how can I update the version of Maven used by IntelliJ IDEA?

Solution
    1. Install the new version of maven (If not already installed)
    2. Go to File -> Settings and use the search bar to find maven settings
    3. Edit the Maven home directory setting so it points to the installation folder of the desired version
