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

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 nedit
--->  Verifying checksum for nedit
--->  Extracting nedit
--->  Configuring nedit
--->  Building nedit with target all

--->  Staging nedit into destroot

--->  Installing nedit

- 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 nedit with these commands:

%  man nedit
%  apropos nedit
%  which nedit
%  locate nedit
