Linux之所以如此流行，其原因之一就是其方便的软件管理,如yum、apt-get等。而Mac下面常用的安装方式为通过dmg、pkg包进行安装，作为unix的分支的Mac OS下面有没有apt-get、yum一样方便的软件管理工具呢？答案是肯定的，这就是本便要介绍的macports，其同BSD中的ports用法几乎一样。

其官方网站为：http://www.macports.org/install.php，这里提供有dmg安装、pkg安装和源码安装三种方式，dmg和pkg就不多说了，下载完成后，下一步下一步安装即可。目前的最新版本为2.1.2 。源码下载地址为： https://distfiles.macports.org/MacPorts/ 。

源码安装具体步骤如下：

1wget http://distfiles.macports.org/MacPorts/MacPorts-2.1.2.tar.gz
2tar zxvf MacPorts-2.1.2.tar.gz
3cd MacPorts-2.1.2
4./configure && make && sudo make install
5cd ../
6rm -rf MacPorts-2.1.2*

其安装完成后，默认路径为/opt/local 。因些如果想直接使用该命令，需要通过设置$PATH生效。如下：

1vim /etc/profile
2export PATH=/opt/local/bin:$PATH
3export PATH=/opt/local/sbin:$PATH

MacPorts使用
更新ports tree和MacPorts版本，强烈推荐第一次运行的时候使用-v参数，显示详细的更新过程。

1sudo port -v selfupdate

搜索索引中的软件

1port search name

安装新软件

1sudo port install name

卸载软件

1sudo port uninstall name

查看有更新的软件以及版本

1port outdated

升级可以更新的软件

1sudo port upgrade outdated

以wget的安装为例，如下：

 1macmatoMacBook-Pro:bin yang$ sudo port -v selfupdate

Eclipse的插件需要subclipse需要JavaHL，下面通过MacPorts来安装

1sudo port install subversion-javahlbindings

注：MacPorts的安装需要xcode的支持，xcode for mac os x 10.6.5的下载地址 。
