I'm a complete novice at using the terminal. What I've trying to do is install Apache Maven, following these instructions at this website:
http://maven.apache.org/download.cgi
I've included the instructions below, a screenshot showing the folder I've unzipped, and the commands I entered into the terminal.
But it doesn't seem to be working

Typically JAVA_HOME is not installed in /usr/java by default like on some other UNIX/Linux such as Fedora for example.
On OSX, your Java installation is typically inside a sub-folder of /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/.
Try setting JAVA_HOME like this:
export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home)
Double-check your JAVA_HOME location
echo $JAVA_HOME
