 Hi,

 I tried to install xfig on my iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015) running
 macOS Monterey version 12.6.1 by completing the following steps:

 1. Downloaded xfig from https://sourceforge.net/projects/mcj/ and unpacked
 the downloaded tarball in the Downloads directory on my Mac.
 2. Installed Xcode and the xcode Command line tools from the app store
 https://apps.apple.com/us/app/xcode/id497799835
 3. Executed the command "sudo xcodebuild -license" in the terminal window
 and agreed to Xcode license terms and conditions
 4. Installed MacPorts for Monterey from https://github.com/macports
 /macports-base/releases/download/v2.8.0/MacPorts-2.8.0-12-Monterey.pkg
 5. Executed "sudo port install xfig" in the terminal window.

 At this point, I am getting a message: "Error: Port xfig not found".

 Am I supposed to move files downloaded in step 1 to any specific
 directory? Am I supposed to issue the step 5 command inside that or some
 other specific directory? Is there anything I am doing incorrectly in the
 above steps? Thank you.
