-This installer places a ready to use  copy of MacPorts into its default location, /opt/local. If you wish to install onto a path other than this, you must resort to MacPorts' source code, configuring to your particular needs. See {\field{\*\fldinst{HYPERLINK "http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/wiki/InstallingMacPorts"}}{\fldrslt Installing MacPorts}} on the MacPorts Wiki for instructions on installation alternatives.\

 What is Installed:\
 
 \f0\b0 \
-Aside from a few MacPorts executable commands in /opt/local/bin, most MacPorts files are installed in /opt/local/var/db/dports. Within these directories you will find a "sources" directory containing the Portfiles that hold the necessary instructions to install ports and the MacPorts sources themselves. Both are kept up to date through the 
-\f2\i sync
-\f0\i0  and 
-\f2\i selfupdate
-\f0\i0  targets of the 
-\f2\i port
-\f0\i0  command, respectively. Please read the port(1) man page for more information.\

 Shell Environment:

-A file named ~/.profile is created for the use of the "bash" shell (default on Mac OS X 10.3 and newer) during the binary file install of MacPorts. It contains the necessary statements to append MacPorts' binary paths within /opt/local/ to your environment, so MacPorts will be available to you for subsequent terminal sessions. You may have to quit and restart your terminal application for this change to take effect.\
