if you don t want to install homebrew  or any other package manager  just for installing maven  you can grab the binary from their site   http   maven apache org download cgi  extract the content to a folder  e g   Applications apache-maven-3 1 1  with    tar -xvf apache-maven-3 1 1-bin tar gz  and finally adjust your    bash profile with any texteditor you like to include  export M2 HOME  Applications apache-maven-3 1 1 export PATH  PATH  M2 HOME bin   restart the terminal and test it with     mvn -version  Apache Maven 3 1 1  0728685237757ffbf44136acec0402957f723d9a  2013-09-17 17 22 22 0200  Maven home   Applications apache-maven-3 1 1 Java version  1 6 0 65  vendor  Apple Inc  Java home   System Library Java JavaVirtualMachines 1 6 0 jdk Contents Home Default locale  de DE  platform encoding  MacRoman OS name   mac os x   version   10 9   arch   x86 64   family   mac

For me I had a AdoptOpenJDK 8 installed  instead of SE JDK 8  For which it was not able to recognize JAVA HOME or mvn commands  Check your java home  usr libexec java home -V and use JAVA SE SDK if it is different  Then follow the above steps to install maven and check again

For me trying above techniques did work so I opened  bash profile file and added following line in new line to connect to maven using short cmd    alias mvn  opt apache-maven-3 6 3 bin mvn   Restart your terminal and hit mvn clean install cmd

Maven is not installed any more by default on Mac OS X 10 9  You need to install it yourself  for example using Homebrew   The command to install Maven using Homebrew is brew install maven

I am not allowed to comment to pkyeck s response which did not work for a few people including me  so I am adding a separate comment in continuation to his response   Basically try to add the variable which he has mentioned in the  profile file if the  bash profile did not work  It is located in your home directory and then restart the terminal  that got it working for me   The obvious blocker would be that you do not have an access to edit the  profile file  for which use the  touch  to check the access and the  sudo  command to get the access           touch  profile             vi  profile       Here are the variable pkyeck suggests that we added as a solution which worked with editing  profile for me            export M2 HOME  apache-maven-3 3 3              export PATH  PATH  M2 HOME bin

This solution could seem very long  but it s not  I just included many examples so that everything was clear  It worked for me in Mavericks OS   Note  I combined and edited some of the answers shown above  added some examples and format and posted the result  so the credit goes mostly to the creators of the original posts    Download Maven from here  Open the Terminal  Extract the file you just downloaded to the location you want  either manually or by typing the following lines in the Terminal  fill the required data    mv  Your file name   Destination location   tar -xvf  Your file name    For example  if our file is named  apache-maven-3 2 1-bin tar   Maven version 3 2 1  and we want to locate it in the   Applications  directory  then we should type the following lines in Terminal   mv apache-maven-3 2 1-bin tar  Applications  tar -xvf apache-maven-3 2 1-bin tar  If you don t have any JDK  Java Development Kit  installed on your computer  install one  Type  java -version  in Terminal  You should see something like this   java version  1 8 0  Java TM  SE Runtime Environment  build 1 8 0-b132  Java HotSpot TM  64-Bit Server VM  build 25 0-b70  mixed mode    Remember your java version  in the example  1 8 0   Type  cd     to go to your home folder  Type  touch  bash profile   Type  open -e  bash profile  to open  bash profile in TextEdit  Type the following in TextEdit  copy everything and replace the required data    export JAVA HOME  Library Java JavaVirtualMachines jdk Your Java version  jdk Contents Home export M2 HOME  Your file location  apache-maven- Your Maven version   export PATH  PATH  M2 HOME bin alias mvn   M2 HOME bin mvn    For example  in our case we would replace   Your Java version   with  1 8 0   value got in step 5     Your file location   with   Applications   value used as  Destination Location  in step 3  and   Your Maven version   with  3 2 1   Maven version observed in step 3   resulting in the following code   export JAVA HOME  Library Java JavaVirtualMachines jdk1 8 0 jdk Contents Home export M2 HOME  Applications apache-maven-3 2 1  export PATH  PATH  M2 HOME bin alias mvn   M2 HOME bin mvn   Save your changes Type  source  bash profile  to reload  bash profile and update any functions you add  Type mvn -version  If successful you should see the following   Apache Maven  Your Maven version    Some weird stuff  Don t worry about this    Maven home   Your file location  apache-maven- Your Maven version   Java version   You Java version   vendor  Oracle Corporation  Java home   Library Java JavaVirtualMachines jdk Your Java version  jdk Contents Home jre   Some other stuff which may vary depending on the configuration and the OS of the computer    In our example  the result would be the following   Apache Maven 3 2 1  ea8b2b07643dbb1b84b6d16e1f08391b666bc1e9  2014-02-14T18 37 52 01 00  Maven home   Applications apache-maven-3 2 1 Java version  1 8 0  vendor  Oracle Corporation Java home   Library Java JavaVirtualMachines jdk1 8 0 lt  b gt  jdk Contents Home jre Default locale  es ES  platform encoding  UTF-8 OS name   mac os x   version   10 9 2   arch   x86 64   family   mac
