Installing Maven on Mac OS X without Homebrew

It seems that the most note way to install Maven on Mac is by using Homebrew, but if you don’t want to install Homebrew I’ve a pill for you.

Download the last version of Maven (binary) here.
Extract the zip where you want on your file system.
For use Maven as command line you need to create a symbolic link. Open the Terminal and launch this command:
```
sudo ln -s /path_to_maven_folder/bin/mvn /usr/bin/mvn
```
Check it with this command:
```
mvn --version
```
