MacPorts, formerly DarwinPorts,[4] is a package manager for macOS and Darwin. It is an open-source software project that aims to simplify the installation of other open source software.[5] It is similar in function to Fink and the BSD ports collections.
MacPorts supports universal binaries for PowerPC, Intel-based,[6] and Apple silicon versions of macOS,[7][8] but migrating from a PowerPC installation of MacPorts to a version on an Intel Mac requires reinstalling all installed ports.[9]
