 > Thank you for the update. Installation ran for 38 minuted and completed.

 Ok great. Then that's functioning normally. Once we get a server-side
 portindex for El Capitan initial installations won't take so long.

 > Terminal will not run Macports commands. I am not hopeful as I am not
 even able to uninstall with described removal script but here goes.

 This indicates no ports are outdated. This could be normal.

 > {{{
 > bash-3.2$ $ port help selfupdate
 > bash: $: command not found
 > }}}

 You typed (or pasted) the dollar sign ($). Don't do that; it's meant to
 indicate the command prompt that the terminal shows you. Type (or paste)
 only the actual command (in this case, "port help selfupdate", without
 quotation marks).

 > {{{
 > bash-3.2$ sudo port clean
 > Password:
 > Can't map the URL 'file://.' to a port description file ("Could not find
 Portfile in /Users/mac").
 > Please verify that the directory and portfile syntax are correct.
 > To use the current port, you must be in a port's directory.
 > }}}

 You didn't tell MacPorts what port you wanted it to clean. For example, if
 you want to clean the "zlib" port, type "sudo port clean zlib", without
 the quotes. If you want to clean all ports, type "sudo port clean all",
 without the quotes.

 > {{{
 > bash-3.2$ /opt/local
 > bash: /opt/local: is a directory
 > }}}

 The message is correct. /opt/local is a directory. It's not a command you
 can run.

 > {{{
 > bash-3.2$ cd /opt/local
 > bash-3.2$ $ port help selfupdate
 > bash: $: command not found
 > }}}

 Again, don't type (or paste) the dollar sign ($).

 It doesn't sound like anything is wrong with your MacPorts installation at
 this point. If you need further help using MacPorts or using your
 terminal, please write to the macports-users mailing list.
