Installing Maven 3.3.3 on Ubuntu 14

I am upgrading from 2.4 to 3.3.3

Pre-requisite: JDK 1.5 or above,

JAVA_HOME set in environment variable

Step 1) Download Maven-3.3.3 binary from a repository using the wget command.

wget http://mirrors.sonic.net/apache/maven/maven-3/3.3.3/binaries/apache-maven-3.3.3-bin.tar.gz

Step 2) Untar the downloaded binary.

tar -zxf apache-maven-3.3.3-bin.tar.gz

Step 3) Move the application directory to /usr/local

sudo cp -R apache-maven-3.3.3 /usr/local

Step 4) Make a symlink in /usr/bin for universal access of mvn

sudo ln -s /usr/local/apache-maven-3.3.3/bin/mvn /usr/bin/mvn

Now verify mvn installation

mvn -v

Output from my terminal
