SAKAI Cannot Deploy to TOMCAT

Question

I am trying to setup sakai on my local machine, these steps when I reached the steps on Compile Sakai Source Code I was able to run mvn clean install with 'BUILD SUCCESS' output, but when I ran

mvn clean install sakai:deploy -Dmaven.tomcat.home=$CATALINA_HOME -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -Dmaven.test.skip=true

I got the error: but when I ran the same command above with flag -X then I got the error: I have tried what may be the course of the error by going to https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAVEN/LifecyclePhaseNotFoundException and also tried with the most of the fix suggested there (such as mvn install and mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:compile. Sincerely speaking I don't know much about maven I just want sakai to work)

I have also searched youtube to see anything different from the installation guide that I followed, there seem to be only 2 videos for sakai and they followed guide closed to what I followed.

Try

mvn clean install -Dmaven.test.skip=true sakai:deploy -Dmaven.tomcat.home=/path/to/tomcat;

Replace /path/to/tomcat/ with the actual path to tomcat. This works for me.
