Creating the macports user

[Kendall Shaw]

Actually, I would still like to know what information is needed to create the macports user since I have to wait until an appropriate time to go through the migration steps.

I also installed Xcode and it’s command line tools and it’s the macos version and the same architecture

But, I think I’ll just follow the procedure you site there. Thanks.

I copied macports files from a hard drive onto a new mac. It’s been a while but I think I just copied /opt/local.

That's far from sufficient. Other things you would be missing include startupitems for installed ports, native apps (which are under /Applications/MacPorts), etc. See https://trac.macports.org/wiki/Migration
