Mac speed installation with MacPorts
12/04/10
Hello everyone!
Some of you are certainly on Mac and although it is relatively simple to make this system in hand, you may occasionally be required to compile some applications by hand, or just install them from a terminal.
I propose today to discover a very handy tool called MacPorts !
Like the famous Aptitude package manager on Debian, MacPorts lets you perform a multitude of installation from your device with a simple command line.
For example here would look the complete installation of Ruby on Rails:
$ sudo port install ruby
$ sudo port install mysql5-server
$ sudo port install rb-rubygems
$ sudo port install rb-mysql
Pretty simple right?
The principle is simple, you simply tell it the name of the package to install, and MacPorts will take care to download, install and configure.
I let you discover without delay this open-source system!
Have Fun!
