Darwin Ports Install

[Visi]

Having an issue using Darwin Ports 1.5 on my Leopard install.

I recently downloaded the Darwin Ports package from the website and ran it, the install reads that everything installed correctly, and the website informed me that once the process was complete, I should run sudo port -d selfupdate, however, all I'm getting is an error that reads "sudo: ports: command not found".

Has anyone had a similar issue or any advice to pass on about it?

I'm assuming Darwin Ports has been installed in /opt/local. If so, you need to put the /opt/local path in your $PATH environment variable.

You can set this permanently in your login shell, by typing:

echo export PATH=$PATH:/opt/local/bin >> ~/.bash_profile
source ~/.bash_profile

If you were running a terminal when you installed darwinports, you have to start a new terminal to use the 'port' command.

This is because the PATH variable has not been updated for any sessions in the terminal that were already running.
