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

You will then be prompted for your root password, which you should enter. You may have to wait for a few minutes while the software is retrieved from the network and installed for you. Y ou should see something that looks similar to:

--->  Fetching compare
--->  Verifying checksum for compare
--->  Extracting compare
--->  Configuring compare
--->  Building compare with target all

--->  Staging compare into destroot

--->  Installing compare

- Make sure that you do not close the terminal window while Darwin Ports is working. Once the software has been installed, you can find further information about using compare with these commands:

%  man compare
%  apropos compare
%  which compare
%  locate compare
