How to run existing maven project in eclipse using mac os X

Extract the distribution archive, i.e. apache-maven-3.2.3-bin.tar.gz to the directory you wish to install Maven 3.2.3. These instructions assume you chose /usr/local/apache-maven. The subdirectory apache-maven-3.2.3 will be created from the archive. In a command terminal, add the M2_HOME environment variable, e.g. export M2_HOME=/usr/local/apache-maven/apache-maven-3.2.3. Add the M2 environment variable, e.g. export M2=$M2_HOME/bin. Optional: Add the MAVEN_OPTS environment variable to specify JVM properties, e.g. export MAVEN_OPTS="-Xms256m -Xmx512m". This environment variable can be used to supply extra options to Maven. Add M2 environment variable to your path, e.g. export PATH=$M2:$PATH. Make sure that JAVA_HOME is set to the location of your JDK, e.g. export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.7.0_51 and that $JAVA_HOME/bin is in your PATH environment variable. Run mvn --version to verify that it is correctly installed.

I installed apache-maven following all these instructions but i checked if the maven is correctly installed. It says mvn command not found "Terminal."

I am installing maven on my mac ox X.

In terminal navigate to your M2_HOME path and run the following command 

   tar -xvzf PathOfDownload/apache-maven-3.2.3-bin.tar.gz
