install a external jar to local repository according to maven's official tutorial,but failed

the command I used(according to maven's official tutorial:maven):

mvn install:install-file -Dfile=algs4-1.0.4.jar -DgroupID=edu.princeton.cs -DartifactID=algs4 -Dversion=1.0.4 -Dpackaging=jar

the error info told groupID and artifactID are missing,so I try to modify the command:

mvn install:install-file -Dfile=algs4-1.0.4.jar -groupID=edu.princeton.cs -artifactID=algs4 -Dversion=1.0.4 -Dpackaging=jar

you know,that's even worse.

I also try some solution from some answers here,they don't work either.

  • expected result is,you know,install the jar.
  • actual results is:
