Mac – Can’t Find MacPorts (installed on OS 10.8.5

macports

How can I find MacPorts after it's been installed? I'm trying to use it to open GIMP but can't locate it. GIMP gave me the message "There is no application set to open the document fimp-2.8.14.dmg.torrent – so, that's why I downloaded MacPorts, and now I can't find THAT – Please Heeeeelp – Thank you!

For run MacPort you have to write sudo /opt/local/bin/port in your Terminal window.

Alias in .zshrc :

alias port='sudo /opt/local/bin/port'

However, a .torrent file can be open with uTorrent or Transmission without using MacPorts.

The correct answer is

sudo launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.mysql5.plist

And you start it with

sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.mysql5.plist

Thanks to kh13org for the pointer.

Mac – Installed MacPorts packages sizes

You could make use of port build in command contents, which gives you the oportunity to do things like that:

port contents --size depof:python27

Grep the lines you need and do the maths :-)

Update: found answer here at guide.macports.

While reading a bit deeper, I found this

port space --units MB --total thisport

which is much more handy then calculating the sum of the size of each file inside a port.
