Follow on to earlier installation question--now trying to install jam

[Stephen Wiggins]

Thanks to everyone that answered my earlier question

>> My installation failed with the following message:

A colleague gave me a simpler solution. He said he had the same  
problem, and it was because we were behind a firewall. He installed it  
from home with no problem. The same worked for me.


Now my main motivation  was to install jam.

However, on following the instructions for installation below.

I find that there are no directories /portslocation/dports/jam


I am new at this, but I am clearly missing something. The implication  
from the  web page is that those directories should be there. Should I  
just create them and proceed?

Thanks,
Steve


Once Darwin Ports has been installed, in a terminal window and while  
online, type the following and hit return:




%  cd /opt/local/bin/portslocation/dports/jam
%  sudo port install jam
