If you haven't executed maven before, then the .m2 directory probably won't exist. You can create the .m2 directory in the %USERPROFILE% directory, %USERPROFILE% is a variable, you can put it into Windows Explorer or the command line and it will resolve to the correct location (e.g., in the command line you can run dir %USERPROFILE% and it will list the contents of the actual directory where the user profile is located).
For the second item, it looks like you aren't inside the directory where your plugin resides. You need to cd to that directory and then run the command.
