    If you haven't already installed Darwin Ports, you can find easy instructions for doing so at the main Darwin Ports page.

    Once Darwin Ports has been installed, in a terminal window and while online, type the following and hit return:


      %  cd /opt/local/bin/portslocation/dports/emergent
      % sudo port install emergent
      Password:
    You will then be prompted for your root password, which you should enter. You may have to wait for a few minutes while the software is retrieved from the network and installed for you. Y ou should see something that looks similar to:

      ---> Fetching emergent
      ---> Verifying checksum for emergent
      ---> Extracting emergent
      ---> Configuring emergent
      ---> Building emergent with target all
      ---> Staging emergent into destroot
      ---> Installing emergent
    - Make sure that you do not close the terminal window while Darwin Ports is working. Once the software has been installed, you can find further information about using emergent with these commands:
      %  man emergent
      % apropos emergent
      % which emergent
      % locate emergent
