PS.: lines with an single "*" are commands.

****CREATING FOLDER "apache-maven"

from root: * cd usr/local
* sudo mkdir apache-maven

****COPYING FILE "apache-maven-3.1.1-bin.tar.gz" FOR FOLDER UP
* sudo cp ~/Downloads/apache-maven-3.1.1-bin.tar.gz /usr/local/apache-maven/

****EXTRACTING THE FILE IN THE CREATED FOLDER

IN THE PATH "/usr/local/apache-maven":
* sudo tar-vzxf apache-maven-3.1.1-bin.tar.gz

***SETTING ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

* follow this steps(verify the maven version mentioned in the text, the version used in this tutorial is 3.1.1): http://maven.apache.org/download.cgi
** set variables mentioned here: https://code.google.com/p/maven-android-plugin/wiki/GettingStarted
***** to help you with the last step, copy the following code snippet to this file(/etc/profile), modifying only the path of the SDK. I hope it can help you, developer!

/* M2_HOME=/usr/local/apache-maven/apache-maven-3.2.1
M2=$M2_HOME/bin
PATH=$M2:$PATH
JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/java/jdk1.7.0_51
JRE_HOME=/usr/local/java/jdk1.7.0_51/jre
