    If you haven't already installed Darwin Ports, you can find easy instructions for doing so at the main Darwin Ports page.

      %  cd /opt/local/bin/portslocation/dports/db46
      % sudo port install db46
      Password:
    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 db46
      ---> Verifying checksum for db46
      ---> Extracting db46
      ---> Configuring db46
      ---> Building db46 with target all
      ---> Staging db46 into destroot
      ---> Installing db46
    - 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 db46 with these commands:

      % apropos db46
      % which db46
      % locate db46
