 This guide is designed to help provide you with a quick start to using MacPorts. It will cover installing, updating, and removing open source software from your computer provided via the MacPorts infrastructure, in addition to some other important basics.
 
-It is important to understand that MacPorts is designed so that all software installed within MacPorts is installed to its own self-contained directory (`/opt/local`, by default). Software can be built into this directory without interfering with any Apple-provided services, or OS X in general, tested, and even packaged into an OS X-style disk image for deployment on other systems. Using guides such as [http://www.netmusician.org/wiki/index.php/Build_server_with_DarwinPorts this], MacPorts installed open source software can even be used to integrate with or replace Apple's installed versions of this same software without having to give up Apple's GUI controls.

If you choose to use the Terminal, the Terminal needs to know to look in your MacPorts directory (i.e. `/opt/local` if you are using the defaults) to find its utilities. If you installed MacPorts using the InstallingMacPorts page then you should be able to open a Terminal window and type:
