tutorial on installing and using the MacPorts package management system in Mac

The

macports introduction

MacPorts, once called Darwinports, is a package management system that simplifies the installation of software on Mac OS X and Darwin operating systems. It is a free/open source project designed to simplify the installation of free software/open source software, similar to the goals and features of the Fink and BSD class ports suite. Same as the ports in BSD. MacPorts, like Apt-get, yum, can quickly install some software.

MacPorts Download and Installation

I. Installation via (. pkg): Mac OS X Package (. pkg) Installer

Visit official website: http://www.macports.org/install.php
Http://distfiles.macports.org/MacPorts/MacPorts-2.1.1-10.7-Lion.pkg

Two. Install Macports:source installation via (Source)

1.CD to downloads/directory wget download macports-2.1.1.tar.gz
Input: wget https://distfiles.macports.org/MacPorts/MacPorts-2.1.1.tar.gz

2. Extract macports-2.1.1.tar.gz input: Tar zxvf macports-2.1.1.tar.gz (tar jxvf macports2.1.1.tar.bz2)

3.CD to the extracted directory MacPorts-2.1.1 input:./configure && make && sudo make install installation
Middle prompt input password Complete installation!

7. Then add/opt/local/bin and/opt/local/sbin to the $path search path
Edit/etc/profile file $ sudo vim/etc/profile (privileged edit, Force save exit wq!) At the end of the paper, add the following two sentences

Export Path=/opt/local/bin: $PATH
Export Path=/opt/local/sbin: $PATH

MacPorts Use

The default path for third party software download packages in Port 1.Mac is:/opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/
In order to increase the speed of installation, you can easily copy files from this directory to the same directory in the new Mac port when you install the new port to prevent port from downloading online.

2. The index of port should be updated first before using Mac port
Input: $ sudo port-v selfupdate (it is highly recommended to use the-v parameter for the first run to show detailed update procedures)

3. View the currently available packages in Mac port and their version input: $ port List

4. View updated software and version input: $ port Outdated

5. Upgrade can be updated with the software input: $ sudo port upgrade outdated

6. In the Mac port search needs to install the package input: $ port Search maven

Huiminmatomacbook-pro:downloads zikercn$ Port Search maven

8. View dependencies for the software packages that are about to be installed or installed
Input: $ port Deps Maven3
