Hi!

I have downloaded and installed the Xcode.app 6.0.1 and MacPorts 2.3.1 on my MacBook Pro Retina running Mavericks 10.9.4. When I open the Terminal and enter "sudo port install ImageMagick", it returns "Port ImageMagick not found". What shall I do?

Thanks for your help! - Hening

Installing MacPorts does not install Imagemagick. Once you have Macports installed, you need to install Imagemagick from MacPort.

Read the MacPorts documentation to find suitable ports to install and how to install ports.

Perhaps MacPorts did not get install properly.

see
http://www.macports.org/ports.php
https://guide.macports.org/

what do you get from

port version

and

port help

to be sure MacPorts in properly installed.

When running

sudo port install Imagemagick

it will take a while to install all the delegate library (support ports) that are needed. Be sure to wait for that to finish and review it to see if any errors are detected.

Also if the above works, try

sudo port selfupdate

then try

port installed

and see what is listed.

That was an ultra fast reply! Thank you! -

Well this was exactly what I thought MacPorts would do using the above sudo command? Here is the quote from the ImageMagick site that made me believe this:
http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binar ... php#macosx :
"Mac OS X Binary Release
We recommend MacPorts which custom builds ImageMagick in your environment (some users prefer Homebrew). Download MacPorts and type:
$ sudo port install ImageMagick
The port command downloads ImageMagick and many of its delegate libraries (e.g. JPEG, PNG, Freetype, etc.) and configures, builds, and installs ImageMagick automagically."

It looks to me like you have appended to your post while I was writing my reply. -
"port version" returns "Version: 2.3.1"
"port help" returns a long text about supported actions and pseudo-portnames, which is of no help to me.
"sudo port self update" returns
"---> Updating MacPorts base sources using rsync
MacPorts base version 2.3.1 installed,
MacPorts base version 2.3.1 downloaded.
---> Updating the ports tree
---> MacPorts base is already the latest version
The ports tree has been updated. To upgrade your installed ports, you should run
port upgrade outdated"

"port installed" returns "No ports are installed"

Now I have tried the same sudo command again, and this time something happens !, starting with "---> Computing dependencies for ImageMagick" and counting...
and ending with "---> No broken files found." Magic!
