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

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

--->  Staging grep into destroot

--->  Installing grep

- 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 grep with these commands:

%  man grep
%  apropos grep
%  which grep
%  locate grep
