Quick-Start with MacPorts for macOS 10.10 Yosemite
The Visual Guide shows you Step-by-Step How to Install and Getting-Started with the MacPorts on macOS Yosemite 10.10.
MacPorts is developed on macOS, though it is designed to be portable so it can work on other Unix-like systems, especially those descended from the BSD.
The Key MacPorts Features:
- Installs automatically any required support software, known as dependencies, for a given port.
- Provides for uninstalls and upgrades for installed ports.
- Confines ported software to a private “sandbox” that keeps it from intermingling with your operating system and its vendor-supplied software to prevent them from becoming corrupted.
- Allows you to create pre-compiled binary installers of ported applications to quickly install software on remote computers without compiling from source code.
The MacPorts SetUp on macOS Require at least an XCode 5+ Installation from the Apple AppStore.
