You can also try a script that does that automatically:
https://gist.github.com/4116458
be aware it will install maya 2013 SP1. If you want the latest version (recommended), you have to modify the script manually at the line:
MAYAURL="http://download.autodesk.com/us/maya/service_packs/Autodesk_Maya_2013_SP1_English_Linux_64bit.tgz"
and replace SP1 with SP2 and there you go!
However the script didn't work for me very well and I had to copy/paste the lines manually on the terminal.
Cheers.
