Try to run `maxima` in command line. Or `/usr/local/bin/maxima` if
`/usr/local/bin/` is not included in $PATH.
Note that Mac OS X installer is unofficial.

1) Install one of the supported Lisp implementations
(http://maxima.sourceforge.net/lisp.html).
2) Download a .tar.gz with Maxima. See the file called "INSTALL" at
the root of .tar.gz. It should be easy:
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make check
$ sudo make install
